May as well be called Tau Beta Gamma - their culture put me on Lexapro! - Anonymous employee The Brand Guild Employee Review

This is a cautionary tale to all the weird girls who want to work here, so what I'm about to share may not apply to you. If you took the conventional social route in college you may love it here. But if you're different, you'll KNOW you're different here. It was basically like working in a sorority house. So if that's what you're into stop reading here. But first, the work itself. I knew it was my time to leave when work got repetitive and senior direction got ambiguous. And when they introduced AI and I felt like everything I was doing was ran through ChatGPT several times (including myself - not dissing AI, just how they used it). There were times where I truly looked to senior management for review and feedback and multiple times I got "I ran it through AI" instead of the guidance I was looking for. They also had questionable client choices that made it hard to be a champion for the work I was doing, many of which that were looking for big agency results on a TBG budget. I also realized early on that there was noticeable turnover for such a small company, through both people leaving on their own accord, and quite a bit of firings. Then came the dreading of going to work because I felt so isolated from the rest of the rest of the team. I will spare the details but here's the kicker: when I left this job and told HR why I was seeking to leave (mostly culture-driven), I got told multiple times throughout the offboarding process that it takes a "specific type of person with specific interests" to work there, implying that they knew I didn't fit in. It took me getting another job to realize, it's them, not me! Take their "Best Places To Work" awards with a grain of salt. If you even have an inkling you won't fit in here, you probably won't. Take your talents elsewhere for the sake of your mental health!
