Pros
- The employees are very welcoming - Work from home on Fridays is a nice plus - Breakfast on Mondays is nice as well as snacks fulltime - You learn a lot about the how PR works in SF - It’s good to see how Vijay comes up with ideas and handles clients
Cons
- Inconsistent communication between managers and other employees - The CEO, Vijay, likes to micromanage on every detail, hindering progress - They exploit websites like Glassdoor to give an illusion of the company vs the reality - Pay is horrible compared to the amount of work that’s given to you and the minimum 45-50 hour work week - Management in almost all levels often loads their own work to the lower emoloyees and go off to do their own thing like traveling and partying - Due to the politics in the company, advancement in the company can only go so far - Quality and style of work is inconsistent, resulting in much inefficiency in how the company runs and some managers scolding you for doing what another manager has told you - Despite advertising “unlimited time off and vacation”, you’re pressured to not take time off and scolded if you even bring it up - They threaten to withold your bonus if you don’t follow a two month transition period before you depart the company or give a positive review on Glassdoor - There is little room for innovation or internal efficiency, despite claiming so - Despite claiming to be transparent, there is very little transparency in the company - You are often put on different accounts and given a task due immediately despite not being briefed on it or are able to provide input in advance - Fake news, click bait and misinformation in pitching, awards submissions, social media and sites like Glassdoor are encouraged, as long as it’s for the client - Due to the above things there is high turnover in the company, one of the big reasons for their constant hiring spree
