Amazing agency with even more amazing people! - Recensione dipendente - Digital Project Manager presso Marcel Digital

The world of agencies is changing fast and it feels like Marcel is very much in the game. The CEO continues to push for more innovation across all departments and while that sometimes can be uncomfortable, I believe it helps position us in a way that many agencies are currently strugging with.

With four different service lines, and each of those being impacted by changes in the industry all in different ways, can sometimes feel like there are too many things to focus on at the same time.

The company has a tight-knit group of highly productive and self-sufficient individuals who are likely to thrive in any environment. This is one reason why Marcel Digital's web development work is award-winning, with multiple clients receiving industry recognition. The office has a friendly atmosphere, and lunch is often catered. The office address listed on their website and Google Maps is merely a facade. Expect to work in a shared networking space where you must reserve a desk before each visit. Marcel Digital makes a bold effort to maintain its culture and expand their professional network through regular team outings and philanthropic initiatives. These activities are well-documented and shared on their social media and blog channels.

Onboarding at the company was somewhat unconventional. Don't expect any company videos or formal training such as standard operating procedures. The entire onboarding process was conversation-based without any branded documents. While the knowledge management and project management systems in place are minimal, there's a strict requirement to log all daily activities. This serves to track billable hours for clients rather than support project workflow. While it's claimed that this isn't intended to micromanage employees, the requirement to submit hours at the end of each workday gave me a different impression.
