Best place to work - Senior Social Media Manager Favola Employee Review

A genuinely wonderful company to work for. It has a great work culture which welcomed all and made for a warm and friendly environment. Their staff structure was non-hierarchical so it meant you could have open, communicative relationships both professionally and personally. I remember feeling like I could talk to anyone and was always heard. Also, it was very creative and ever-evolving which was exciting to be a part of.

Not really a con, but because of the ever-evolving nature it was fast paced. Anyone working in social media will know this is the norm however. I suspect it’s the least pressurised of all the agencies.

My experience of life at Favola was overwhelmingly positive. The team are talented and kind and the culture is one of collaboration, growth and support. The work itself is varied and typically creative, and there’s a strong sense of pride in what the company produces. Pay and benefits always felt fair, and expectations are clearly communicated. Senior leadership are approachable, accessible and incredibly invested in the people they employ. There is a culture of direct feedback, but it's always constructive, and I always felt supported when raising ideas or concerns. While there are established ways of working, people are listened to, and suggestions for improvement are taken seriously.

This is still a relatively small agency, work can be fast paced and this doesn't always suit everyone's working style. The company currently lacks the kind of formal learning and development opportunities that might be offered by more established agencies, but this is something management are establishing.
