Not the worst but there are far better opportunities - Anonymous employee Verve Search Employee Review

Subsidised lunch, you go in once a week, nice colleagues, holidays, big office, 2 mental health days

Communication is zero and management lacks training. Training and progression is promised but never received . We were told there are no promotions for outreach until April but there definitely are promotions within the agency, so it really depends on who your manager is at the end of the day. You do outreach but you learn nothing about SEO. It’s a 20 people agency but we never got introduced to new starters (very disorganised and no clear structures). Agency meetings got reduced to two or three meetings a year, due to an issue of having to create slides for Power Point. You basically don’t get any updates. There is a lot of secrecy going around in the agency. Also, pay is criminal given the current circumstances (inflation etc). No real company culture. Like the previous reviews said, there is a favouritism within the agency.

- Most of the people there were lovely. - I learned a lot. - It was possible to move quickly through the ranks. - Proved to be a great stepping stone for me.

- One of the senior management team at the time was given carte blanche to do what he likes and dictate to other people how to do it, regardless of expertise, capacity, other priorities and pre-existing work. - On the whole it was quite chaotic and there was quite a high turnover of people because of this. - Also, SEO is just a silly industry to be in and not worth the stress, long hours and emotional toll. There are far greater things in this life to focus your attention on!
