Thinking of joining MARKETING at Top Hat? DON'T. - Marketing Top Hat Employee Review

- Not dog friendly! - Vacation allowance could be better - Management is a disaster. The CMO, as a previous review stated, is condescending and unhelpful. In fact, he will overcomplicate your work to the point that you feel like giving the entire job up. If you make the team look bad to the rest of the company, game over. You can't make mistakes because they will be talked about in endless one on ones until you feel inadequate and unable to improve. Count on questioning your intelligence at least once a day. - Management sets unrealistic targets that set the team up to fail and then are preoccupied with saving face in front of the company so count on making endless presentations for internal use instead of doing your actual work. - You will have meeting after meeting about lessons learned from the team's output but these lessons will never be applied - Talking about meetings, you will be forced to sit through at least 3-4 "mandatory" hour long meetings a week when you know you don't need to be there. You have no choice but to attend. - For a team of more than 20 people, the work generated is of subpar quality and unimaginative. This is because team members are handicapped by micromanagement and overworked with pointless busywork (like endless internal presentations) - Management hires incredibly intelligent and motivated professionals and saddles them with deadend work with no growth opportunities...so they leave. - Turnover is VERY high because the team's toxic culture does not inspire loyalty. - For the people doing most of the work on the team, count on not getting the resources you need. You will be encouraged to work evenings and weekends if necessary and be reachable all the time. - So many deadlines are made up and not really urgent but made to feel so. My entire time at Top Hat was full of pointless stress because I never felt like I was getting enough work done quickly or done right.
