Pros

Nice, trendy office space with high end technology and kombucha on tap.

Cons

It's interesting to me that 6 months ago there were only three reviews on this page about this company and all were very average. It wasn't until a negative (accurate) review popped up that a plethora of positive (and eerily similar) reviews came pouring in. This is not because the employees at Envoy are happy, it's because I know for a fact they were asked to leave these reviews. If the reviews told the truth they would say that turn over rate is at an all time high because the political environment of Envoy is impossible to navigate. Employees are not respected or cherished, but rather treated as if they should feel lucky to work at an agency like this and are easily replaceable. Employees who have been there for years are stuck in the same role while "favorites" and relatives of the founders are being promoted over them with no reason except their connection to management. One of the founders has been accused of sexism multiple times and continues to adhere to that mindset day in and day out. Unless you are a friend or relative of management, you will be talked down to, used as a scapegoat for management's mistakes, denied work and then be told you aren't doing enough. There is just no winning with an agency like this. The egos of management are far too large and are suffocating the life out of what had the potential to be a great place to work but has now turned into a place employees dread being each day. If you want an accurate depiction of what life is like at Envoy everyday, focus on the negative reviews because they are the only things on this page that are telling the truth.

Pros

The only good thing about working there was the co-workers

Cons

The company is run by two very odd twin brothers. They have no business being business owners - they are former designers who decided to start their own agency. They are disconnected from their employees and work them hard without caring about them. They are only concerned only making money and they lop off heads on a whim when they don't like you or when financial budgets are not met. Additionally, the HR dept could care less about the employees. Don't let them fool you. They do whatever "the founders" want and do not advocate for the employees. The entire business is focused on financial gain for the executives and everyone else is treated like a puppet. If you want to work long hours and be made to feel less-than, then this is the place for you. But if you want to work for a company that cares about your contributions and treats you with respect, you should go elsewhere.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We recognize that every experience is personal, and we take all input seriously. Your perspective matters, and we appreciate the opportunity to reflect and grow. Reality vs. Perception – Every time we part ways with a team member, it is a difficult decision, never taken lightly. As a business, we see it as a loss when these conversations must happen. The People and Culture team is deeply committed to fostering an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered—our people are our greatest asset. In our most recent employee survey, 86% of respondents said they would recommend Envoy as a great place to work. We also want to emphasize that decision-making at Envoy is intentional and strategic, guided by the long-term success of our employees and the company. No single individual dictates these choices—leadership collaborates to make the best possible decisions for the organization as a whole. That said, I recognize that experiences and perceptions differ, and I always welcome open conversations that help us learn and improve. If you’d like to share more, I’d be happy to connect. Your contributions to Envoy are truly appreciated, and I sincerely wish you the best in your next chapter. Best, Emma Chief People and Culture Officer.
