Vantaggi
I've been pushed but supported to develop as a professional in more ways than I can count. Smart goal setting and regular check ins have made it clear what I need to improve on and I've felt supported as I develop and grow in the business. They are proactive in supporting with career opportunity. Everyone makes mistakes at times and Mutant is the sort of place that handles them as learning opportunities. They will put support and training around you until you improve. I have been in work places where managers will scold or belittle you for mistakes and this is so much better. When I have had personal home difficulties they have been helpful and have treated it with empathy. They still expect results but they will be flexible and will give extra support as needed. Mutant has grown lots in the past few years and the profile of clients has grown lots. I've had exposure to working on some of the top brands alongside some kick-ass colleagues. The team. I've never felt this connection in a workplace before. You don't have to be everyones friend but you also can't really help it as they are all so genuine and welcoming. And while I don't know them all but it seems like they have the same culture in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Svantaggi
Honestly nothing I can really write home about. At times it can get busy or stressful but never in a sustained way that feels unbearable. If I have a busy couple of months management will often flag it with me and proactively help to lighten the load.
Vantaggi
Great culture and brands to work for. With all the layoffs at other agencies - it seems promising to have new wins and growth here. Management seems to be more hands on than in other agencies which is nice to see. Many opportunities to learn and grow your career here.
Svantaggi
It’s definitely challenging and fast paced - with global clients that expect only the best. Some late nights or weekend events expected with client events.
Vantaggi
flexible hours and hybrid work
Svantaggi
country manager micromanages a lot although she never does the actual work. We have to follow her way (even when it’s not what client wants) or we’ll get a write-up for insubordination. Sometimes a deck takes 2 months to review with her constantly changing her mind revising and theres no clear direction. Favoritism exists because there’s one director who’s always taking MC and leaves every other week, and likes to throw her juniors under the bus when problems are due to her bad project planning and lack of guidance. She’s been here for 5 years+ so if you know how to schmooze for that long without doing actual work, you’ll be fine. This company punishes efficient dedicated workers with more work. If there’s no business, you’ll end up doing work outside of your scope like admin work or deliverables for another department, which can’t be in your favor if you’re looking to grow your career.
