Thanks for this review. SO great to hear Born is the best place you've ever worked. We try really hard to create that feeling in every team member which is why we are always so open to feedback. I'm sure you'll agree our London office is a lovely space physically - navigating hybrid working is a challenge with some quieter days and some very busy days. We are working on various idea at the moment to help improve this. Including some new breakout areas and phone booths.

Pros

Talented team mates, ambitious company goals, big clients, good benefits, kind and inclusive culture, good feedback culture and people management. I had a great time working with the teams I was in and met loads of great people. Potential for amazing ideas and executions

Cons

Bad processes are holding the creative ideas back and wasting time and money, There is a lot of talk about changing structures but no real evidence of the change. There are redundancies in resourcing but that is the weakest in terms of the work being split up efficiently and executed. Briefing is unclear and not set up for collaboration and then people want to shift the blame. Creatives are super talented but the production process doesn’t allow for the work to be at the level they want it to be. When a client has to much money they dictate unreasonable asks and there isn’t enough push back. The work suffers and people get burnt out. Personally I didn’t get a lot of satisfaction from the work

Hi - we really appreciate you sharing such thoughtful feedback. You make some good and fair points around tension between process and output. It's a challenge most agencies grapple with, especially as they scale too 200 . As you've mentioned its something we've been candid about really focussing on in the second half of this year and this work is definitely starting to pay off. Thanks again for your review - especially for all your positive words on our ambition, people and culture. We agree on that too!
