Vantaggi

The majority of the team is extremely supportive and friendly. A close global network that works hard to boost the company in the right direction. The career trajectory from this role is promising with a heap of transferable skills gained.

Svantaggi

CEO is extremely driven to promote the company, however he consistently utilizes passive aggressive language and unnecessarily technical phrases. Little to no training was provided, with me being thrown into the deep end within the first week and then being belittled for not performing to a certain level. When you don’t understand what he is talking about and ask him to explain himself better, he insults you and makes you feel lesser. He constantly asks you to work outside of hours and jokes how you shouldn’t have a normal life working at PA and the company is your life. As someone with a commitment to an appropriate work-life balance, this got on my nerves. As a bonus, he would micro manage every task and if you didn’t hit your quota for the month, he would take jabs at you as if to infer your job is constantly at risk. This was worse in my case, as I was situated on the desk next to him, giving me very little breathing room and feeling consistently under pressure.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience following your five weeks with us this spring. We are pleased to hear that you found the wider team supportive and friendly, and that the role provided valuable transferable skills. We are sorry to hear that aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. Particular Audience is a fast-moving business, and roles in a new office involve pace, ambiguity, and direct exposure to senior leadership. That environment can create strong learning opportunities, but it is not the right fit for everyone. For future candidates, we aim to be clear: roles at Particular Audience offer significant access, responsibility, and learning, but they also require resilience, ownership, and comfort with direct feedback. That said, feedback about communication, onboarding, and management style is important. We take it seriously and will reflect on where expectations, training, and support could have been clearer from the outset. We appreciate the time you spent with us and wish you every success in your next role.

Vantaggi

1) A lean team where everyone knows each other and a high degree of cross team collaboration. I could just walk up to James (The CEO) or Imon (The CTO) and speak my mind honestly about isses or problems at work which i really appreciated. They are open to listen to problems from every member of the team and adapt as necessary. 2) The tech management always tries its best to facilitate skills development. 3) They're building new features now which makes it an exciting time for anyone to join the company. 4) Flexible with work hours and WFH.

Svantaggi

In my opinion, getting promoted can take a little longer than I would have wished.
