Pros

Instrument has been a wonderful place for me to grow as a leader, learn about things outside of my discipline, and work with really progressive and interesting clients like Patagonia, Nike, Salesforce, Atlassian, Sonos, etc. As a producer, I am expected to do so much more than take notes, project plan, track the budget. We work as a team to solve problems, concept creative ideas, build up trust with our client partners, and produce work we are proud of. As a community, Instrument is very progressive, thoughtful, and focused on supporting career and personal growth. No time tracking! A solid and stable business model that expand/contract with landing big accounts like more traditional agencies! Truly digitally led!

Cons

Instrument can feel a little portland-centric in the creative output and culture. Instrument is still learning how to clearly define roles, levels, and expectations within each which sometimes leads to some confusion.

Pros

- Amazing work culture and benefits - Great variety of projects available with top global brands - Growth opportunities

Cons

Towards the end, a lot of compressed timelines and resource allocation made it harder to deliver good quality work. I get it's mostly the clients, but I think as an agency Instrument could also stand up for its employees better. Saw a lot of people getting burnt out at the end.

Pros

The people is the reason why I never wanted to leave.

Cons

The random layoffs and terrible managers not advocating for your growth while other people with great managers got promotions like crazy.
