Pros

Most of your coworkers in non-management roles are amazing...most. A lot of talent is being suffocated and taken advantage of in this place. You have the opportunity to learn A LOT, but it's out of necessity because you are quickly put into multiple roles that you didn't sign up for.

Cons

Shady dealings between managers and company members. Be prepared for a boatload of work (at least 60+ hours a week but most of the time 75-80) and not get paid for it. Despite not having an HR management sure knows their way to get around standard policies. The only employees that can actually benefit here are contract. They can choose their hours and say yes or no to certain projects, while full-time employees are expected to pick up the slack (due to lack of manpower) and are not paid over-time thanks to shady employment offers. Normally if you work hard and go above the responsibilities in your job role, you are rewarded. At HexaGroup it is expected. And forget bonuses or raises. Despite the promises the give you when signing on, you'll never receive them. Performance reviews? Non-existent. Priorities that are set in weekly meetings soon go down the drain when upper management tacks on additional work (despite already having a full workload) for dubious contracts with no profit share. There are favorites in the office who get special treatment, despite being terrible at their job. You can work your hardest to make a client happy and continue to juggle dozens of retainers and still be berated for minuscule mistakes while other Marketing Consultants are asked to be kicked off projects specifically by the client, but they are rewarded with a lighter workload and you are forced to pick up their slack. Want to report these issues to HR? Too bad. There isn’t one. Any issue that is brought up is rebuked. Even if you point out specific references in the handbook that you signed when you were hired on, they will pull a random law from an outdated book and send a random memo out rather than referencing the actual handbook you signed. They'll argue that yours is outdated (which it is) even though the one they reference is from 2012. Want to move up? Well good news! You'll be provided with a lot of opportunities to take on additional work. But as far as actual promotions, and the compensation that comes along with it, you're out of luck. High turnover is directly related to this. They will hire interns or low-level employees and expect them to do the work of people 3 positions above them, pay them minimum wage, then fire them when they don't live up to their unrealistic expectations. If you see a job post for this company...run!

Pros

I've really enjoy working at HexaGroup. The people are what make the company stand out the most—everyone is friendly, supportive, and easy to work with. It feels like a team where people genuinely want to help each other succeed. The work is interesting and never gets boring, especially with a diverse rosters of clients across different sectors. You're trusted to take ownership of your projects, but there's always someone willing to answer questions or offer guidance when you need it. Leadership is approachable, and it's clear they care about both their employees and their clients. Overall, it's a great place to grow professionally, work with talented people, and be part of a company that values collaboration and doing great work.

Cons

There really aren't any. It's a fast-paced marketing firm, which comes with its share of high-stress moments, but that goes with the territory in this industry.

Pros

I've had an amazing experience working with Hexagroup. The team genuinely cares about doing great work, and there's a real sense of ownership given to people in their roles. I was also positively surprise by how every team member makes us feel welcome and integrated me seamlessly. They also often share with the team the different accomplishments & successes they get with clients which gives us a sense of building & workign for something bigger than ourselves. Huge bonus, they offer lunch every day at the office from nice places, which very few companies do. Leadership is approachable and invested in the team's growth, and the culture feels collaborative rather than siloed. I've learned a lot quickly here, and it genuinely feels like a place where good ideas get heard. They also make sure to organize off-site events every quarter at least which helps with building bonds with the team.

Cons

Like any growing company, things move fast and priorities can shift - so it helps to be comfortable with a bit of ambiguity.
