      Pros

      There are some smart people working mostly in Marketing.

      Cons

      Really political environment. Will work you to the extreme and not compensate well for your hard work. Basics like keyboards and monitors are not provided, not even a reasonable chair to sit in! No team attitude because everyone is so demoralized. The leadership doesn't care about making things better, just about bringing in more clients. High turnover because no one can keep working the hours, meeting unrealistic expectations. Depressing that the partners are so out of touch as to why people keep leaving.

      Pros

      I'd like to think of any but my experience was very poor. I introduced many ideas and to say the least they were not open to it.

      Cons

      They hire a lot of young attractive females to cover up for the ugly truth that top management is old and out of touch, I was in account Managment and I got zero respect and get me coffee attitude. I was never treated with respect. Turnover was high and our most talented folks left because they were told they are bringing new middle management.

      Pros

      I've worked at several marketing agencies in the DC area and there are a few things that Hinge does well. They utilize a project management tool for tracking staff hours, which can help with "over-booking" a resource. Hinge offers thorough budget templates which keep all of the projects on track. They offer a set group of services (although they don't offer many services outside of their "packages", they do their core services very well). Hinge hosts an "all-hands" meeting every week to disclose company financials, leads, web traffic - they're very transparent with their employees.

      Cons

      Hing is a very political environment. A husband and wife duo at the top causes for a lot of friction among other partners and departments. There's a constant battle between the account management and marketing teams - specifically on lack of management and "who's at fault". the benefits are poor compared to other firms in the DC area (no matching 401k, no maternity leave, no FSA, and expensive health insurance). Very little employee appreciation, which is reflected in morale. During the interview process, I met with several people at the company. Looking back, it was less about being qualified and more about personality and whether you'll "fit in". Hinge felt more like a fraternity/sorority rather than a professional place of business.

      Thank you for your review. At Hinge, we encourage a culture of open feedback. While it’s unfortunate that your experience with us was less than favorable, we appreciate the perspective. With that said, it’s important to correct your statement around some of your comments. The leadership team at Hinge consists of 5 partners – each overseeing different aspects of the firm. As a growing service organization where everyone collaborates on all deliverables, fit is even more important than skill set. Skills can be taught and refined, cultural fit cannot. Finally, our business development staffing is structured just like that of our clients in professional services. In professional services, relationships with the individuals doing the work are very important, thus a traditional sales model is not as appropriate. Best of luck in your new endeavors. Hinge
