Great people and culture - Anonymous employee Duarte Employee Review

I had an excellent onboarding experience at Duarte. From day one, everything was thoughtfully organized and clearly communicated, which made the transition into the company seamless and welcoming. The onboarding process struck a great balance between providing essential information and allowing space to absorb and apply what I was learning. The training was high-quality, engaging, and easy to follow. I especially appreciated the opportunity to participate in one of Duarte’s workshops, which gave me a firsthand look at the company’s expertise in communication and storytelling. There was a strong sense of intentionality behind every session, ensuring that new hires not only understand their roles but also feel connected to Duarte’s culture and values. What stood out most was the level of support. Everyone I interacted with was approachable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping new employees succeed. There were clear opportunities to ask questions, connect with colleagues, and build relationships early on, which made a big difference. Overall, Duarte’s onboarding process is a standout example of how to set employees up for success from the very beginning.

I've been with this company for a while now, and it's been an awesome journey. The culture here really cares about each of us, and the fully remote setup means we can work from anywhere in the state. The benefits are great, and the pay is competitive with other small agencies. There are plenty of chances to grow your career organically, and we're encouraged to play to our strengths. The focus on self-awareness and valuing what each person brings to the table is truly unique. Our Agency works on stunningly beautiful creative projects that make a real difference for our clients, and the methodology taught in our Academy has helped not only our clients, but many of us improve our careers and lives. Plus, working with big-name clients and some of the smartest, most creative people around is a huge bonus.

Every business has it's challenges. challenges. Financial recovery after the pandemic has been slow. In a small business, you end up wearing a lot of hats, which can ultimately be a great learning experience. The focus on performance means everyone has to pull their weight. There are some really busy periods of the year, but overall, things balance out over the year, making it manageable and the company does a good job prioritizing balance.
