Vantaggi
Their false reputation around Chicago
Svantaggi
Highdive is the ultimate white guys club. If you're in you're in, and if you're not, the usual pipeline is performative PIP to firing. Risk regularly spending Super Bowl, holidays, or evenings away from work instead of at the founders' homes, and you'll be sure to be fired. In an effort to distract from their mass POC exodus, they recently started performative lunch and learns from POCs within the industry. This is particularly ironic because they tolerated public displays of racism & homophobia DURING a company DEI training. After their LI thought piece from these L&Ls garners the attention they're looking for, they proceed to never do any actual work with their guests. Creatives think they're too good for their own in-house production company. Account teams are unnecessarily competitive with teams within the agency. HR is completely completely useless. If you're willing to sign up to work in a sweatshop, at least leave with a strong book, but you won't find that opportunity at HD.
