Talented Marketers and Transparent Leadership - Recensione dipendente - Performance Marketing Manager presso Refine Labs

Unlimited time off which is used and encouraged, pretty much every US holiday off, work-life balance is taken seriously, summer Fridays, cool clients, fun team. There's a lot of growth ahead under Megan's leadership.

Remote life can be tough. There's no office to meet up with and we typically only got together once per year so building relationships internally was difficult.

Colleagues are incredibly smart, capable professionals. Agency has positive professed values/goals and some benefits, such as unlimited PTO, that align with stated values. Generally quality of clients is strong, through client retention is...inconsistent.

Refine Labs was founded as an incredibly ego-centric agency. There is still an ego-centric culture that is built around self-promotion (and promotion of favored colleagues), rather than a healthy collaborative or even truly merit-based culture. If you're not a self-promoter, you're success and progress in the agency will be very limited. There has also been a lot of instability in mid-management roles, which signals challenges of vision and hiring at this level, which filters down to success of "individual contributors." Salaries may be competitive at time of higher, but fail to keep up with inflation outside of promotion, but organization is relatively flat and offers little room for professional growth, which contributes to employee retention problems.
