Pros

Most of the employees are good people There's potential to be a good agency The office space is nice, office manager does her best to make it an enjoyable space (lunches, 5 a 7, snacks, it's clean) Opportunities to learn new things and get involved in the Drupal community Opportunities to travel

Cons

- No clear org structure, vision, direction, or goals communicated to anybody in the organization - The CEO and his right hand make all the decisions and hardly consider anyone else's suggestions - Input from other directors is not valued - even less so from individual contributors - They claim to be remote first but always want folks in the office - Leadership has no people management skills and no respect for people's time (they expect you to accommodate their schedules so expect late meetings and no-shows. You'll be asked to make things happen without enough time or resources so expect to work overtime) - There's lots of micromanagement (strict task management and time logging. you have to track your daily tasks on multiple platforms for review) - Lots of employees have been laid off or resigned since January and leadership is not addressing any concerns despite claiming to value transparency - Leadership is comfortable bad mouthing others when they're not around - The company has good PR. Based on social media and the people you'll talk to, it'll seem like a nice place to work. Then you start and you quickly realize if you don't drink the kool-aid, you won't be valued. - There's good people at the company but it's ruined by poor leadership - Salaries, benefit structure, and PTO is not comparable to industry standards

Pros

There are some smart, talented people working here.

Cons

The leadership is toxic and unprofessional. There is timesheet micromanagement, mandatory camera-on policies in meetings, insane workload and project expectations, and chronic understaffing. They will often make very unreasonable requests, like asking staff members to use their own personal vehicles to drive people on work trips for hours, or asking non-sales staff to spend three hours to cold message unknown people on linked in to promote and sell tickets to the company's conference. Recently there has also been increasing pressure to produce even more with less, and management expects that AI can just magically make up for the attrition of staff or the underscoping of projects - teams and clients are left to pick up the pieces when key project resources are removed without warning and for no clear reason. Workplace politics are very chaotic, often having a significant negative impact on projects. At times, employees were removed abruptly without any real plan or foresight, which created additional strain on remaining team members and affected project continuity. I would not recommend joining this company. Based on my experience, I am not sure how it has lasted this long given the ongoing operational issues.

Pros

- There's lots of work and great clients, very dynamic - big brand names, interesting work, fascinating clients - You work with a lot of smart people - Lots of opportunity to develop your skills across a lot of domains, not just in your 'craft' (but it can be hard to figure out how to do it)

Cons

- Can be a bit too intense for some people. - This is not a "con" but people have different communication styles / different cultures, and you have to work extra hard to figure out people's communication styles. For those used to more 'homogenous' environments, it can be rough
