Vantaggi

You'll form really close bonds with your coworkers here, in the way that people who go through a collectively traumatic experience come out on the other side as life-long friends. You'll have a quarterly forum to voice your opinions and constructive feedback, although if you peel back too many layers they will gaslight you until you realize "no, it's not all in my head. I'm a talented individual and this is not how businesses should be run," and hand in your resignation. Perks: -Coffee -Beer -Newly renovated office with lots of parking

Svantaggi

A certain Snapshot blog post (Quality, Speed, Price… Can you have it all?) sums it up: Snapshot thinks they are the "unicorn" that can deliver a well-made product faster and cheaper than their competitors. Obviously, unicorns are mythical, and to believe oneself is a unicorn is delusional. The iron triangle is basic economics and Snapshot may think they are delivering, but it only sometimes works because the bar for "well-made" is very low. So good on you if you end up with something to show for your work here, and I'm sorry about all the overtime you probably put in to pull it off. Occasionally a well-made product is actually delivered on time, and I'd be willing to bet they lost a handful of employees in the process. This is not recognized as a cost because every single human employed here is seen as disposable, never mind the very real cost of hiring and onboarding their replacements. There's a lingering recession mindset towards hiring here: there will always be some new grad hungry for the job (refer back to things being "well-made.") Also: -No retirement plan -Sub-par insurance -Bare-minimum PTO package

Vantaggi

After working for 15 different companies in my lifetime, SnapShot Interactive was my favorite place to work because they had their act together. Each quarter, my coworkers and I would set the company goals and work towards completing them. I really appreciate Mark and Ben because they really worked hard to help us all become our best. I am grateful to have worked with everyone there. Delivering state-of-the-art content is not easy. If you want to work with the best, you'll want to work here, but if you're a slacker, look elsewhere. Generally speaking, agency work is very competitive because everyone thinks they know how to build a website or produce a video - that's why we focused on being effective and efficient. Every Friday afternoon, we would all have an hour of fellowship, where we reviewed new techniques, awesome industry-related videos, and shared our own stuff and ideas. Everyone I worked with had a great attitude, and we were all focused on getting things done. It's nice to work at a place where everyone has a positive attitude.

Svantaggi

I don't have any cons.

Vantaggi

On the plus side, the teammates are nice. The team hires competent people, even if it doesn't last long. Everyone is trying their best. People work hard and find lots to be proud of. The work is interesting, when culture gets out of the way. Learning how to jump in and take initiative is easy because there's so much need for it.

Svantaggi

There's a lot of turnover, employees realizing they don't have to put up with the bad management habits. The company stuffs reviews with fake positives. Leadership regularly causes HR issues. The egos need a lot of managing up. The culture of customer-first service and "no one is above any task" means everyone does everyone else's job, no one does their own job well, and the customer is allowed to run wild with deadlines and feedback. Projects are disorganized. Teammates are not trusted to do their actual jobs and are gaslighted if they try to address the big picture issues. "Accountability" is only used as a weapon. Papering over problems and putting on a smile is always the number one priority. Diversity at the company is poor beyond balancing men and women. There is no room for LGBT identities. People of color don't last long on the team. Sometimes sexism and humor, especially from leadership, are bad as well. Bullying has been an issue. Flexibility of working from home is a tug of war against management's deep lack of trust.

Thanks for the review even though some if it is hard to hear. I see you have moved on and I hope you’re thriving with your new employer. I’m sorry your experience was not 100% positive. Growing quickly and pivoting during Covid was a unique chapter. And we had some serious issues on the leadership team that needed addressing. We underestimated the impact of not having the right people in the right seats and have made changes. Further, operationally we are stronger with better systems – with the goal of eliminating friction in creating the best work. Having better workflows has also created more trust amongst teammates. Though we are a primarily office-based agency, the team tends to work in person – with Wednesday as the day that many choose to work elsewhere. The feedback we get from the team about the office and their experience working together the majority of the time is positive. And at times we do support employees working from elsewhere as life demands. We believe in equality for all and this workplace (and all workplaces) discrimination or mistreatment of anyone totally unacceptable. We all deeply believe that discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint or any other classification is wrong and unacceptable for our agency (or any other). Please reach out to me to discuss if you are willing. Of course, my hope is that with the changes in management that we’ve had, this issue has been systemically addressed however it remains as an important reminder to be far more intentional and proactive about assuring the work experience reflects our values as an agency.
