"Best Agency EVER" said no one

Pros

Fruit everyday (but only one piece per person) Flexi time (some people get in for 10, start work around 11.30, have lunch immediately after and leave around 5.30)

Cons

1. One thing i have to point out is the pay. Male's get paid more than Females. If you are an experienced AM, no doubt you're AE is getting paid more or the same as you. Or whether you are an experienced developer, a junior developer who is learning to to code will be getting paid more than you.... crazy right? 2. It's all about who you know. Management = ALL talk NO action. They can sell you a run down car and only tell you it needs a coat of paint. This is how they got their position and earning a 3 figure salary. They never ever have your back and they don't understand what team means. They just care about "working" their day and getting paid. In all honesty, i have no idea what they do... 3. Favourtism is a JOKE in SYZYGY. It's so clear to see someone who doesn't do ANY work, gets the praise and promotion over someone who does a lot for the agency. Some promotions take up to 10 months whilst others takes 4 weeks.... Some people who lack experience will get made an Account Manager.... 4. I have no words for this agency. You can pour your heart and soul into a piece of work and feel so proud of it, but don't expect anyone to praise you for it. 5. No company perks.

Pros

There are handful of genuinely nice people Standard agency drinks on Friday Free breakfast Majority of people stay in the agency because it's easy - you get a way with a lot of things

Cons

Where do I start.... It's the worst agency to ever be in - HR made fake accounts to write positive comments Full timers drop like flies and freelancers soak up all the money by doing NO work Rules differ per person - it's all about who you know and who not to get on the wrong side of Juniors are doing Senior jobs but getting peanuts and Seniors are doing Junior roles and are overpaid Pay differs with gender To ask for a pay rise or promotion is like asking for a trip to the moon - you will never get it. The agency seems to NEVER have any money but freelancers are always hired and payout are always given There is no respect within the teams Senior management have no respect to their own teams and only look out for themselves and paycheck A lot of people do not know how to spell TEAM because they seem to think there is an I in it... that being said it's very easy for them to also stab you hard in the back

Great To Settle, Terrible to Grow

Pros

- I had the opportunity to work along side some amazing, smart people who were really good at what they did. - Pays pretty well compared the local average

Cons

For such a small office, there were terrible office politics. People were promoted based on subjective opinions rather than quality of work/merit. Senior leadership genuinely doesn't care about the people in the office and constantly puts down the employees. They're always saying one thing while doing the other. Managers and senior leadership seriously lack vision and are infamous for micro-management.
