Pros

Great snacks, most folks are friendly, one impressive client.

Cons

The word on the street is accurate, there's a big reason they struggle to keep creative or freelance talent around and why they often leave with a bad taste in their mouth. They lost an ACD, 2 CDs, a designer, 2 strategists, and 2 HR execs in Q4 of 2016.

Pros

Im about 8 months into working here at Kettle. I joined this agency for an awful and toxic agency that raised my blood pressure every day. Kettle is different; it felt like coming home. Warm, welcoming, and leadership is present (both emotionally and physically), and they make time for you. @Leadership, if you're reading this, please know that we see your effort and the amazing work home that you provide for us. I feel so loved and seen here at Kettle. Also, the transparency into the business and its goals as a whole is phenomenal.

Cons

No cons thus far! :)

Pros

• Competitive pay and decent benefits. • Some projects are genuinely challenging and rewarding. • Woman-led company. • Your experience can vary a lot depending on the project and who is leading it.

Cons

• Two recent rounds of layoffs have significantly impacted morale and the overall culture. • A slowdown in new business has created a lot of pressure and uncertainty for employees. • Leadership often seems more focused on optics than on supporting the people doing the work. • Very few opportunities for internal promotion. • Leadership lacks diversity.
