Pros

Everyone who works here is super kind and supportive. There are no egos whatsoever. There is consistent open communication between everyone, as well as a wonderful collaborative environment and so much opportunity to learn and improve. The workload is manageable and management are always there to support you where you need it, but at the same time you have the freedom to pursue an improvement in your skills through clear objectives and feedback.

Cons

I'm yet to find any cons. I've really enjoyed my time here so far.

- dynamic workload - lots of training and support - variety of clients - voices listened to & heard - flexible hybrid WFH set up

Cons

Office can get noisy when a lot of people are in, but worthwhile given the flexible hybrid approach

Pros

- Diverse, friendly team of Paid Media specialists who are highly competent in their field - Commitment to hybrid working, with no requirement to be in the office X number of days/week - Excellent culture of learning and collaboration; employees develop their Paid Media skills noticeably quickly and feedback is regularly provided on progress - Highly approachable senior leadership team, who get to know employees personally, protect them from difficult clients and are invested in each individual's wellbeing & development. - Positive work-life balance, with manageable workloads and no expectation of overtime (which can be the 'norm' at larger agencies) - The no-nonsense approach which the company prides itself on means fewer unnecessary meetings / processes, the ability to share feedback openly, and no corporate BS

Cons

- Socials are excellent but more infrequent than at some agencies (likely to change as more people join the company) - Current office is in a great location (Fleet Street), but basic - Generally no option for flexi-time - The pace of the role may seem higher than at a big agency, without large teams to manage accounts. Team chats are 'busier' and managers more attentive (although employees are not micro-managed). This is not really a pro or a con - simply a different way of working to larger agencies, where employees can be 'left to their own devices' more often.

Many thanks for your feedback and 5 star review. To address some of the points you have raised - Socials - this is a fair point, as we have now hired an admin assistant, he would be able to organise these more regularly. Office - thanks for the feedback and again this is a fair point. When we were choosing the office in 2023, it was put to the team whether we would like a more functional (no frills) office and not have compulsory days in the office or have a nicer office with compulsory days in the office. It was decided that the team collectively didn't want compulsory days in the office which is why we have ended up with a basic office, which was commercially the right decision as the office is not being used very often, we only have 3-5 people coming in at any one point. Flexi-time - You are right this isn't an option. With everyone working from home with no compulsory days in the office there is a lot of flexibility built into the way we work already. We are also quite relaxed about people having time off and making it up at another time when life gets in the way during working hours. I thank you for your honest review again!
