Pros

I cannot think of a single positive thing to say about this place.

Cons

The owner of this company recently sent current and former employees threat of legal action if they leave negative reviews about Number 41 Media on this site or others. I think it's important to warn others, so I would like to reiterate my subjective opinion and experiences working at Number 41 Media. While I was working at Number 41 Media, management routinely threatened and humiliated their employees, causing the worst morale and poorest work environment I've ever encountered. For example, there was a sign posted in the kitchen threatening to fire employees for not doing their dishes. I found the overall atmosphere to be gloomy and depressing. The employees seemed apathetic and beaten down, probably because there are few jobs to be had in Victoria. I think Number 41 Media unfairly exploits this circumstance. Number 41 Media management acted in an unethical manner towards me by promising stable employment and benefits after 3 months "probation" and then reneging on this, saying they would have to extend the probation period because they were "not happy with the standard of my work." Their rationale behind this reasoning was absurd (I committed the crime of having reference books at my desk! I was not exhibiting enough outward signs of stress!). My opinion is that they were just trying to save money. Interesting that this insignificant operation found my work to be lacking, if you consider the fact that I immediately went on to became an internationally recognized leader in my field, consulting at Fortune 100 companies and have since received nothing but glowing reviews of my work -- but I guess Number 41 Media management possesses more business acumen than, say, Toyota, ING or Microsoft?

A Disappointing Experience

Pros

I cant think of any pros. My expectations going in were not at all met.

Cons

Worst IT company I have ever worked for. I truly wish I could take back the time I worked at Number 41 Media. Managements attitude was holier than thou attitude towards employees and competitors. Vindictive behavior upon my exit. The reasons for a higher than normal turnover rate became apparent to me during and after my employment. I'm glad I read all the Glassdoor reviews because it helped me understand more about my bad experience and that it was not me at fault.

Pros

It's a pleasure and a privilege to work at Number 41 Media. I've been made to feel welcome from day one. It's refreshing how positive and friendly everyone is here and it's really easy to get along with everyone including management. There is an environment of professionalism and courtesy extended to staff and clients alike. The office is exceptional and very nicely appointed. Every effort is made to make employees comfortable at work. Breakfast, beverages and snacks are provided. Necessary office equipment is supplied to ensure employee's ergonomic needs are met. Management is very flexible and accommodating to personal schedules. Workloads are reasonable and well managed. There is support for professional growth and learning. Work is interesting and challenging. There is passion for the highest standard of quality in what we do. I'm very happy to be working at Number 41 Media and I'm grateful for the opportunity and truly appreciate the lengths taken to make this a great place to work.

Cons

No complaints, but the field of work is fairly narrow. They do what they do and they do it well. It's a small company, but for some of us that's a good thing.
