Pros

The team are great, very social and lots of very funny people. The office and the holidays days are also amazing.

Cons

Micromanagement is ingrained in the culture, mistakes are never overlooked (at any level) and can be a real mark against you as you try to grow. There is constant process changes so you have to regularly adapt to new ways of doing the same thing. You have to be a certain type of person to thrive and progress. It can take a very long time to get promoted. It can feel personal. Management don't listen to employees. It is very old fashioned, especially the idea of having to work in the office and the limitations on working remotely (again, can be based on personal bias). People leave a lot so there is a general feeling of unease.

Thank you for taking the time to review us on GD. Although we are pleased to hear you enjoyed the people, the socials and the holiday allowance, we are sorry to hear you feel the constant process changes, lack of listening to team members and our WFH policy is, in your opinion outdated. We do listen to our people and value and welcome suggestions. I'm sorry this isn't the experience you've received. We do have brilliant and talented people here, and we aim to keep them here by giving people autonomy and freedom to grow and learn. Mistakes are made at every level, and we would never hold any personal grudge. But we do try and learn from them, hence why we try to refine our processes. You feedback is invaluable as we strive to do better and be better. We are sorry your time here with us wasn't what you wanted, but we are thankful for your time here and wish you every success in your future.

Pros

It is a great place to learn and develop throughout your career, with plenty of team support and recognition along the way. The variety of industries and client sizes provides excellent opportunities to broaden your experience, while also giving you the chance to make a real difference in the day-to-day. Your hard work is valued and recognised, making it a rewarding place to grow professionally.

Cons

Similar to any other agency, it is a fast-paced environment where a lot can happen in a single day. Agency life is not for everyone, especially within a smaller agency where individuals tend to have greater visibility and responsibility. However, this is a normal aspect of agency work and is no different from what you would experience elsewhere. Rather than being a negative, it provides opportunities to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact.
