PACIFIC Digital Group Reviews

The maritime theme parallels this marketing agency as being one purely focused on Discovery, which I love as a concept, but now I realize there may be a tongue-in-cheek reference now. It's probably called Pacfic for the layoffs, business insability, and "disappearances" of colleagues that are about as frequent and unpredictable as the tides of the actual ocean this place is named after. Reading these reviews and experiencing what I've experienced in my short time here, I really should've heeded to the warnings online and the hints that my coworkers mentioned in passing about this place. The expectations seem high for many of the clients and the team can only provide so much within the framework they're expected to work in. Strangely, the ratio of associates to executives is lopsided beyond measure. Every Monday Mashup I would ask what half of them do on a daily basis. As friendly as everyone is, I really would've appreciated transparency and a heads up that things were going south with this one particular client well in advance. It shouldn't be hard to forecast that given that there are four or so people in charge of client services.

-Layoffs have been so frequent and unpredictable that there was absolutely no sense of job security. Skill level, tenure, and client relationships seemed to play no role in determining who was let go. -One c-level employee consistently lied to clients about things as trivial as internal meetings (saying we just got off a call discussing an issue when that call never happened), which led to a high level of distrust in communication from leadership. -Multiple employees who were chosen to help develop platform features were let go immediately after their portion of the feature was completed, heavily implying that the company and leadership value their software over human employees. -Upskilling and cross-skilling are encouraged, but you shouldn't expect to receive any additional compensation for your new skills. -Leadership instills a false sense of security by repeatedly assuring employees their jobs are safe, only to continuously cut more and more roles. -All employees are expected to have complete, 100% buy-in to PACIFIC. If you were just looking for a job, that probably won't cut it here. Time spent on passion projects outside of work is not looked upon kindly by the CEO.
