Pros

Good Location Boss/Owner does not work in office (THANK GOD)

Cons

- The owner constantly and purposefully creates an environment of mistrust and pits employees against each other. He uses employees as spies and actively encourages ratting on colleagues for the most innocuous reasons. He actually feels this will keep everyone on their toes and encourage production. In reality, employees end up fearing each other and race to out "rat" each other. It was an incredibly uncomfortable place to work. - Owner is nice and agreeing one day and then a complete tyrant the next. You never know what to expect from him. Employees are ALWAYS walking on eggshells -Ridiculous turn over rate. Average length of employment seemed to be about 3-6 weeks before employees give up and quit. But owner never reflects on how his own behaviour contributes to this. Instead he blames the employees and calls them "losers". -Owner comes across as nice, agreeable, and easy to talk to during interview process. If he wants you, he will sell himself and his company as a great place to work, but does a 180 once you are hired and in the office. He is degrading, disrespectful and a classic bully. - just an all around terrible place to work. this is not a company that you wake up in the morning and look forward to going to. I prayed everyday for tuberculosis or a flash flood, anything so I didn't have to degrade myself another day working for this company.

Pros

Each Adverto team member excels in their respective roles which makes way for great outputs and long lasting client relationships. Management recognizes individual contributors and values integrity and commitment. You should join if you're invested in your career and want to succeed in your field. The sky is the limit at Adverto.

Cons

Adverto is a small business yet it seeks to compete with large players. Expect to wear different hats, and embrace change as the business is very nimble to adjust to the market.

Pros

The location is really good: Old port, near square Victoria. There's a lot of restaurant nearby (but they're really expensive though). Good entry salary for a small agency. The office is great!

Cons

About the company: They are working on templates already developed that designers have to personalize for every clients. It's an custom platform that is not up to date. Designers have to work around that to propose creative templates that are limited to a lot of guidelines (those are not written yet, so they’re not provided to designers). Proposed optimization are rarely considered. About the management: It's what we call micromanagement. Everything has to pass through the owner - mails, design process, ideas, color change - even though he's rarely at the office and rarely answers our calls/emails. It's hard to work when you are waiting on reviews. Work review: When you do get a review, it's rarely a good one. It's hard to know what the owner wants from the designers. And if you don't get it the first time, you will be blame. For example, when he present a new project he usually say "Use the same design as the corporate site of the company, but make it beautiful”. It is hard for a designer to make it “the same but different”. Other information: When I left the company, I learned that they were looking at our personal intern chat history and company emails. There's a lot of non ethical things going there.
