Pros

Pay is reasonable and Summer Fridays were ok.

Cons

The work-life balance can be challenging in this environment, particularly for those with family or other responsibilities outside of work. The workload tends to be unpredictable compared to previous roles, even in positions with higher pay. There may be times when management's expectations feel unrealistic, and additional support could be beneficial. It would be helpful for the management team to adopt a more flexible approach and provide more assistance to employees to help them navigate these challenges.

Pros

I've been at 829 for several years and have had the opportunity to grow alongside the company. One of the things I appreciate most is the people. The team is incredibly smart, supportive, and always willing to jump in and help. There are a lot of genuinely good people here who care about doing great work and helping each other succeed. I've had the chance to work with clients across a wide variety of industries, take on new challenges, and continue growing my career as the company has grown. Like any agency, it's fast-paced and there are times when priorities shift quickly. The company has grown significantly over the years, which means processes continue to evolve and teams are constantly adapting. That can be challenging at times, but it also creates opportunities to have a real impact on how things are done. The leadership team is approachable, open to feedback, and invested in developing people. I've personally benefited from mentorship, growth opportunities, and the trust to take on bigger responsibilities throughout my time.

Cons

-Agency life can be busy and fast-moving - Priorities can shift as the business grows - Growth sometimes outpaces process, requiring teams to be adaptable
