Great people hindered by excessive admin and a toxic culture - Account Manager Upperdog Employee Review

Very good company, enjoyed working here a lot

Not really any cons that I can think of

Good holiday allowance and work from home culture if that’s something you value. A good range of clients and a well established agency with long term client relationships

It has taken me a long time to reflect on my experience at this company before feeling comfortable writing this review. During my time there, I found the level of administrative work and micromanagement to be excessive, which made it difficult to work effectively and confidently. The culture also felt quite cliquey at times, with communication often being indirect rather than clear and constructive. Relationships with management appeared to have a significant influence on employees’ experiences, and this could change very quickly. Staff turnover was notably high, with seven employees leaving within a six-month period while I was there. Ultimately, I made the decision to leave without another role secured, as the experience had a significant impact on my stress levels and professional confidence, despite having worked in marketing for over 10 years.
