Pros

Colleagues were great Join if you love being talked down or if you want your health to be disregarded (forced to come into office) Great experience if you want to feel like you are in an asylum

Cons

I wouldn't wish the experience of working with EC1 on my worst enemy. Stepping foot into their office, I felt like I was walking into a horror film rather than a professional workplace. Let's start with the bossS – the epitome of rude, micromanaging, and downright disrespectful. This person must have taken lessons in how to demoralize employees because they excel at it. They breathe down your neck every second of the day, scrutinizing every move you make as if you're incapable of tying your own shoes without their explicit instruction. And don't even think about offering suggestions or feedback – they'll shoot you down faster than you can say "toxic workplace." The atmosphere in the office is akin to a pressure cooker ready to explode at any moment. As for the recruitment process itself, it's a shambles. Deadlines are unrealistic, expectations are sky-high, and heaven forbid you make a mistake – prepare to be publicly shamed and belittled in front of your peers. It's no wonder the turnover rate is through the roof; nobody in their right mind would willingly subject themselves to such torture. In conclusion, unless you enjoy being treated like a disposable cog in a soul-crushing machine, steer clear of EC1 at all costs. Your mental health and self-esteem will thank you.

Pros

Decent comms structure compared to other agencies I’ve worked at but it’s not worth it

Cons

Poorly run and going downhill fast. They can’t hold onto good talent and its no wonder why. Management is lazy and mostly everything they tell you in your interviews is rubbish

Thank you for your feedback. It's unfortunate that you didn't feel comfortable expressing these concerns while you were working here. I would appreciate it if you could let me know who you think the lazy managers are so I can investigate this further. Please email Sam - samanthagasson@ec1partners.com

Pros

None I can think of.

Cons

This place is an absolute mess. Unrealistic expectations for success with very little training/support. Turnover is EXTREMELY high. Easily the worst workplace experience in my career.
