An office full of busy work, zero creative ideas and no professional development - Anonymous employee Davis Elen Advertising Employee Review

Senior management has been there for a really long time and they are very set in their ways. They are an older bunch and don’t like new ideas. They like the status quo and don’t appreciate anyone rocking the boat. There are many outdated processes and it's futile to try and change them. There are many projects that have no meaningful applications besides keeping them saved on the server. Many projects are given without proper direction which causes a lot of double work, late nights and frustration. With that being said, there is no reflection on how things can be better managed in for future. Late nights are expected and are not treated with any sort of appreciation. It’s just part of the job. Be prepared to cancel plans if something comes down from management prior to leaving for the night. With all the busy work, they still manage to be pretty understaffed. Given these circumstances, professional development is very difficult. You’ll find yourself executing what management dictates and will have no real contribution. Make sure to ask a lot of questions in the interview.
