Pros

- Awesome healthy meal for lunch - Used to have great people working there

Cons

This used to be a good place but since COVID everything spiraled into business ego-driven decisions, empty promises, and erratic decision-making. Here are some of the biggest points you need to know before applying at Ginetta: Employees safety and psychological safety - No real care for employees' safety as seen during COVID from management (forced office presence for fragile person or scared person) - The removal of any Project Management role created a lot of work on the designer's shoulder. Management behavior and decisions - Management's delusional wish to grow caused the rent of the second floor in Zurich that cost an arm and leg per month. - Due to poor budget forecast about 10 employees were let go in May (some of them after their 5th day of work, one of them, 2 days before her start). - 4 days obligatory onsite so the management "can see you working" - The introduction of a strategy unit complicates every part of the process and doesn't create any value/ or a very poor outcome. Diversity, talent, and other - Poor hiring of new employees that obviously were not a fit - Hiring of high-profile individuals (white males of course) that contributed to nothing except draining the business even more ("The unicorn client catcher") - Removal of most of the perks: phone, flat hierarchy, parental leave, professional budget and + The fact that the Glassdoor rating is still around four is due to ancient reviews and newer ones from current client partners (highly paid individuals who were almost never bothered by the points mentioned above) trying to lure in fresh meat.

Pros

Ginetta was a very good agency a few years ago.

Cons

It has become a haunt of political rapacious people who circle around the boss and force him to make outrageous decisions. The layoffs have been in waves since 2023, they even went so far as to recruit a couple who started at the beginning of May only to lay them off 3 days later! And they continue to open job offers while the company is in a huge deficit. The strategy and technical leads do not provide any work, and hide behind their teams who do everything for them. Don't go there, you will lose your mental health.
