Vantaggi

Svantaggi
-HR asks people to write fake positive reviews on glassdoor and often pressures people to remove negative reviews! -strategy is not real brand strategy. It is only glorified project management and proofreading. -senior leadership cannot get along. They fight like cats and dogs about every single thing, making it impossible to do anything or get anything approved. Many times, junior people are also put in the middle of the fight. -senior leadership cannot make confident decisions and often have diva-like attitudes. -no creativity or willingness to change within senior leadership and the company, despite constant talk of changing and evolving. -The CEO is not able to contribute in an impactful and meaningful way, so instead she simply yells at and pressures employees without offering any solution or any help. Previous reviews mentioning how she only pressures people and is a better place without her is true. -feels like the company could grow and do better financially if it weren’t held back by those at the very top. -Boring clients, even for B2B. -very poor maternity leave and benefits. -digital capabilities are lacking. The company likes to think of itself as tech-forward and digital-first but makes mostly paper brochures, in actuality. -even the nice view of the Hudson is now getting blocked by noisy construction. -creatives are resourced solely according to availability, rather than getting to know a client or an industry. Tendency to treat creatives as only being able to do one skill, and does not offer them diversity in projects and skills. -heavy favoritism.
