Pros

Some of the Staff were really nice The social club tries really hard to get everyone together. Nice Cape Town offices Lovely working hours

Cons

Management seem to set you up for failure - They don't mentor and get angry when you ask for assistance Not a nurturing environment - You get thrown in the deep end and expect you to swim like a champ Some of the American senior team are really not nice to deal with. Departmental training is next to none - You must come from a technical advertising background to get anywhere Very high and unobtainable targets must be met to achieve your KPO'S If you are not taken under a wing of someone important you will struggle to get assistance to learn and further your knowledge while learning while doing. Just found Senior Management in the Cape town office, terrible with junior staff, with regards to nurturing and building up staff to create an environment where staff want to stay. It seems more about their own furtherment within the company. Communication across the company is terrible. Make one mistake - It is held against you, brought up in every review for months after and it not treated as a learning curve and management don't really take the time to correct or teach you.

Great benefits. Great product/ company. Supportive environment. Flexible work schedule. Hire within and want to promote and give raises. Free lunches. They do a lot of employee events. The culture is really great and my work/ life balance has never been better.

Pros

The People: The day-to-day team is easily the best part of this company. Middle management and individual contributors are incredibly smart, empathetic, and wonderful to work with. There is a genuine sense of camaraderie at the ground level. The Product: You are working on something truly viable. The product is incredibly solid, has great market potential, and is something you can actually feel proud to build and support. The Perks: Unlimited PTO and a hybrid office are massive benefits that are genuinely respected by your direct peers and managers, allowing for some work-life flexibility if/when you can grab it.

Cons

Directionless Senior Leadership: Executive leadership is a complete mess. They are chronically misaligned and seemingly incapable of agreeing on a unified strategy. As a result, priorities shift constantly, pulling teams in entirely different directions and constantly piling on chaotic, reactionary work. Culture Shift: While the company loves to preach a healthy, supportive culture, the reality at the top is the exact opposite. Management by Fear: The newest member of the senior leadership team is actively destroying the company culture and morale. They choose to lead through intimidation and dishonesty rather than inspiration and transparency. It has created a toxic ripple effect that is rapidly burning out the middle management layer.
