Vantaggi

A family-like environment that is mostly fun and not corporate. Flex time is nice and everyone knows each other well enough to be friends. Lots of leeway to learn development. They hire people who have just gotten into the field and provide an excellent platform for getting adjusted to agency work and rapid development cycles. I was able to learn a lot and the job forced me to learn to come up with solutions for a minimum viable product in a short time frame.

Svantaggi

Working overtime seemed to be expected of employees and was almost necessary to keep up with the regular workload. Management didn't throttle sales when there weren't enough people to do the work. However, the issue was attributed the problems to workflow and not doing things fast enough. No room for vertical promotion. The CEO typically changes the project schedule laid out each month and adds additional projects in depending on his or his client's deadline. Unfortunately, this wasn't an overall positive experience.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate you taking the time. Having an open "family-like" environment is exactly what we have tried to achieve. It set's us apart and provides the trust and freedom to utilize flex-time. We've seen many positive returns. We've experienced rapid growth in recent years and some of the negatives you pointed out came with this. Quick implementation to changes in never easy and they require planning, time and the buy-in of many. New task management structures, regular training and guided career advancement paths are active changes we are implementing. Thanks again for the review, as it helps to make TM a better place. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Vantaggi

Awesome team to begin with! If you're a developer and you want to grow in your skills as a Full Stack dev in an agency. This is a great place to start with! I worked with very very smart people and they will fully trust you that you know what you're doing. I was given opportunities to grow my skills and I gain a ton of experience, and I was treated great by management. Overall, awesome company!

Svantaggi

Nothing much really! Awesome team and management! The reason I left is due to personal family concerns.

Vantaggi

This was my first internship and while I don't really feel like I gained all that much from it, I don't necessarily regret doing it. The work you do at TM as an intern really isn't that substantial. I did learn a bit about SEO which was nice, but as an art director, it's not super helpful. I got to design some cool things and it was nice to be able to get feedback from the creative director. The office is nice and it was fun being in Royal Oak.

Svantaggi

The people overall are cool but a couple of the higher-ups left a bad taste in my mouth. There was an instance where I was actually sat down and given a lecture about showing up on time after another intern was late (I was literally always on time). I felt like I was in high school while I was condescendingly talked to for something I didn't do. This interaction was insanely unprofessional and I actually couldn't believe it happened. They also hardly pay you ($15 per day). There is absolutely no excuse anymore to not pay interns. Honestly I don't really know of any other agencies in the area that offer unpaid internships. It devalues the position and makes the internship feel unsubstantial. I also had to ask three or four times after being there for about a month if I had to fill anything out to get paid and when I actually was going to get paid. Overall, it wasn't a horrible experience but after interning at two other agencies, I found TM left a lot to be desired.

Dear Anonymous, The timing of this review is odd; we haven’t had an intern in almost two years now. Our program offered a package, lot's of flexibility in scheduling and had each person being integrated with many facets of an agency. All interns were interviewed and those we though fit our format were offered a internship with full details on what was expected and what was provided including compensation. No one forced anyone to take an internship position with us. In the future should you find yourself in a similar position of unhappiness in your employment you should discuss those with a supervisor to seek positive resolution. With all this being said we would be happy to discuss further offline if you are so inclined.
