Vantaggi

- The people who work there (and have been there for a long time) are really passionate and really fun to be around. You will most likely make lifelong friends. - Company retreats were a priority. - Truly a great place to start your career and get experience.

Svantaggi

- Very stressful. - No proper coverage for folks who take PTO. You are most likely going to get a call and pinged for questions no matter what. - There is a strong "Family" rhetoric that feels very toxic. "We are family, so do us a favor a do more work". - If you do good work, you're going to be worked to the bone. Your reward is more work. - High turnover for Producers. - Founder comes into projects midway (with no context) and will hate all of the work, and then people are forced to redo work the night before a client presentation. - Low pay. - DE&I efforts do not seem to be a priority for the company. - Scoping work is all over the place. - Clients are sometimes the Founder's friends who have companies that don't pay the agency anything? Huh? - They will publicly shame you if you are underperforming. -

We appreciate the feedback and perspective you've raised in this review. Happy to hear you shared our passion and we have your endorsement as a fun place to work and start your career. We are sorry this positive feedback is in such stark contrast with the additional perspective you provided in this review. Looking at all of those growth areas closely and critically, we feel it is important to address points you've made to provide the reader some perspective on our organization. We also would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss any of these items in more details with you as you see fit. Feedback channels: We have a number of established feedback channels/mechanisms in place to provide a safe and confidential line of communication for concerns and issues. These include frequent one-on-one meetings, Roboboogie’s staffed HR resource, full access to a 3rd party HR consultant, an anonymous feedback portal, peer and annual reviews, and exit interviews. We take any and all feedback into these channels seriously and address them objectively, and professionally in a timely manner. Flexible Work Schedule: We have a flexible hybrid work schedule in place, which allows employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This includes options for remote work, flexible hours, and support for personal and family commitments. PTO Coverage: While we acknowledge that covering for colleagues on PTO can be challenging, we strive to have a well-structured plan for coverage in place to minimize disruptions. "Family" Rhetoric: We are a small (<25 employee) company that fosters a close collaborative work culture. We are committed to ensuring it does not translate into undue work pressure, and we encourage open communication to address concerns around work-life imbalance. Founder Involvement: Founder involvement can sometimes lead to project revisions, but we aim to ensure that it enhances the quality of our work. We are actively working on improving timing, communication and context sharing in these situations. Pay and DE&I: We are committed to fair compensation and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. We are continuously monitoring and adjusting compensation packages and DE&I initiatives to create a more inclusive work environment. Client Relationships: Our clients come from diverse backgrounds, and some may have pre-existing relationships with our Founder. We maintain professionalism and integrity in any of our client relationships to ensure they align with our values and standards. While not common, there are times that we do work in fair trade exchange or equity based work. Performance Feedback: We strive to provide constructive feedback and performance evaluations to help employees improve. Public shaming is not our approach, or tolerated to any extent. We work hard to uphold and enforce our Respect tenant. Leadership: We are proud of our leadership team. Open, unsolicited feedback we hear in weekly Friday Kudos call-outs is in stark contrast to the claim here of broad leadership incompetence. A/B Test Services: We are actually seeing an increased demand for A/B testing and data-driven services. These are a focal point for our organization as a small Digital Optimization Consultancy.

Vantaggi

Super fun, tight nit team. Lots of freedom in how things get done. The mix of strategy and execution means you actually get to make an impact and effect change, not just produce. It’s cool to come in as specialized experts in the area of AB testing. Interesting client mix from different industries. For people with entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy growth mode it’s a lot of fun.

Svantaggi

The flexible engagements mean you’ve always got to be on your feet and nimble. The nature of ongoing engagements means there is never a true “ta-da” we’re done moment. If you aren’t into start-up mentality, might not be a good fit.

Vantaggi

I worked at roboboogie for multiple years in different positions as the company grew and most recently in a CRO and digital analytics role. One of the major pros of working at robo has been the way the team operates. The management team has always been extremely transparent, empathetic and protective of the employees, treating us more as a 'family' than as employee vs employer relationship. I rarely felt pressure to overwork myself, I had clear role and responsibilities defined, and there was space for me to voice any complaints or concerns I had about projects, personal matters, etc. The team had a great inclusive and positive vibe, with a fun agency culture. I would say that my time at robo has been one of the best work experiences in comparison to other agencies or large corporations.

Svantaggi

There were times when there was too much collaboration on projects or 'too many cooks in the kitchen' where we would spend too much time or effort revising or overperfecting work. The end product would be great and client happy but sometimes it was a bit exhausting.
