Stay clear of DOJO and its toxic work environment. - Anonymous employee DOJO Employee Review

Visionary partners, great co-workers, ideas are taken to another level where advertising goes back to being fun and exciting. As an agency, DOJO believes that we always have to do the best work possible. Also the team is made of good people, we have a tight, very close team that chooses to do what is right (so rare in this industry).

Not that close to a Bart station

Casual, fun, unconventional working environment Partners are passionate and energetic Forward-thinking use of technology Everyone has a MacBook Pro with an external Apple display Most employees don't have an office phone and instead use mobiles and Instant Messaging Voicemail messages and emails don't pile up Rooftop space with sofas and a great view, although the space doesn't seemed used often Great location in San Francisco, walking distance from BART

DOJO has a strong, in-your-face personality that I think most people would either love or hate. The agency also embraces music as part of their "DNA" and has mandatory weekly "happy hours" in an agency meeting area that last about two hours or longer. - Music is pumped through the agency speakers where employees sit to work -- all day, every day at a fairly loud volume. Even my noise-isolating earphones couldn't block it. A seemingly random mix of rap, hip hop, hard rock, soft rock, and pop. - Almost all employees sit in one, big open-space room. Basically, one big table, with all employees sitting around it. It can be very distracting and there's no privacy. - Lack of more intimate meeting spaces or nooks to find a quite space to work, talk on the phone, or meet with colleagues. - Routinely long working hours, including nights and weekends. - Limited use of email and phones within the agency. Most communication is done face-to-face, so there can be some confusion later, with details forgotten. - Confrontational-style interaction seems to be encouraged.
