Pros

If anyone can have an opinion about working at 1000heads. It's me. Account Manager, Innovation Director and Ideation Director. I left 1000heads twice. Depending on where you are in your career. Early days this place is like a Forge for awesomeness. The skills, clients and people you work with will 100% set you up for the future. I join new companies and feel the work I was doing at 1000heads 5 years ago was more innovative than what they're doing now. Mid way through your career I'd say it's what ever you want to make it. Easy to moan about managers and leadership when you're unable to motivate yourself and looking for excuses. Mid career I'd say you have the opportunity to set yourself up to be an incredible leader if you put in the effort. I believe that job titles are almost irrelevant at 1000heads. If you want to move teams or create your own role all you need to do is take the initiative. I guarantee leadership would be willing to listen.

Cons

Free beers on a Friday.

Pros

There are some quality employees at 1000heads.

Cons

Zero structure and a serious lack of leadership. Pay is well below the market average and work hours are far more demanding than other agencies.
