Dumpster Fire - Avoid! - Anonymous employee Captiv8 Employee Review

Within the past year, there's been 3-4 rounds of layoffs (which you can find with a quick Google search) and has been under quite a bit of public scrutiny. This company is clearly struggling financially and has been at a competitive disadvantage in an extremely saturated market. Brand Management (aka Account Management) - Probably the most inexperienced team I've seen and constantly protects the influencers instead of the clients. They're not strategic at all and literally just execute campaigns with no strategic vision. They've lost multiple clients strictly due to their lack of details, customer service, and rushed work. There are a few good apples in that bunch but generally speaking lack experience and attention to details. Culture - There isn't any. None, whatsoever. They don't do any programming for holidays, social moments, etc. They don't encourage or promote you to work and get to know cross-functional teams and are stuck in a silo for most of your days. From what I heard, depending on the role you're in, you could literally not speak to anyone from days on end or even a week. Opportunities for Growth - The best way to get promoted is not by merit but to be part of the "Boys/Girls" club. I've seen numerous "promotions" for people that were known well within the company to not exceed in their role. There aren't even performance reviews to hold anyone accountable and/or given employees an opportunity to get promoted - it's evidently subjective Sales - The most unorganized team I've ever seen which is unfortunate given that most of them have deep experience. The "regional leads" were "promoted" but not communicated to their teams that they were going to be managers of their teams so it was an awkward transfer of power. Everyone calls on the same accounts which is extremely confusing for clients and agency partners as one account can have 3-4 different sales people on that account.
