Vantaggi

This is an excellent environment for acquiring valuable experience and building industry connections. If you're aiming to elevate your expertise in B2B and B2C media relations, then this could be the ideal place for you.

Svantaggi

The company's performance was already on a decline as 2023 began, and this decline was further evident after its acquisition by Berlin Rosen. The once highly flexible and remote work environment changed abruptly to a mandatory in-office presence twice a week. The upper management appears to be struggling to maintain control over the company, and it's obvious that some managers lack proper training in dealing with junior employees under their supervision. As a result, employee retention rates are very low. The company shows little to no compassion in their decisions to let individuals go, even when they've been with the company for years. Junior employees are being stretched to their limits, as they are consistently overworked, being assigned to handle tedious administrative tasks for multiple clients, often juggling 4 to 5 clients at a time. This workload raises concerns about employees' opportunities for skill development and growth within the company. The absence of a work-life balance compounds these issues, making it increasingly difficult for employees to thrive and perform at their best. In terms of DEI efforts, it's sad that say that such efforts appear to be non-existent at the company. While the CEO may publicly project a facade of concern, it is clear that these efforts are largely performative. The lack of diversity is also evident in the limited number of people of color employed within the agency, which should serve as a clear indication of Inkhouse's commitment, or lack thereof, to actively promote a diverse and inclusive work environment that welcomes individuals from all backgrounds.

Vantaggi

Positive in-office environment and perks Good PTO policy Encouraging managers that take time to listen to you

Svantaggi

-Unsustainable workload and pace led to constant stress and burnout, leaving little time or space to produce high-quality work -Benefits were blatantly misrepresented during the interview process (e.g., “every other Friday off” was very much not a true day off, and number of in-office days were higher than stated right from the get go) -Minimal onboarding and support; assigned high-level projects immediately with unrealistic demands and expectations -Constant shifting priorities, excessive deadlines, and little consideration of existing workload made it extremely difficult to focus on any one task at a time. -Heavy reliance on Slack created a highly distracting work environment with pressure to constantly signal activity and respond to an excessive number of messages. -Lack of visibility into team workloads due to poor structure and management oversight. -Expectations to be available outside normal working hours. -Unclear promotion process and inconsistent internal communication. -In-office requirements felt unnecessary and inefficient given the nature of the work. -Limited opportunities for meaningful team connection; culture on all teams felt transactional, robotic, and impersonal. -Very few genuine connections and normal convos with people across teams. A little bit of respect and basic human connection would have gone a long way.
