Pros

You get a lot of exposure with different clients across multiple industries

Cons

- A lot of favouritism - I would often sensed that one of the founders were favouring female workers based on appearance. If you are an attractive person, a lot of things are going to work on your side there which is really unfair - If your title does not have the word manager, you are not going to have a lot of say and your contributions won’t be valued - You have to show yourself as an extrovert and display overtly talkative behaviour else in your performance review you would get called out for not getting along your coworkers. Which is completely nonsense as a lot of people like 1 one 1 communication and will be as talkative as others. The louder and talkative you are, the highest your performance will be rated by the founder - long working hours most of the time - Pay is below market level with no benefits at all

Pros

All round exposure Approachable management Opinions are valued

Cons

Lack of Vision - As a company, they lack vision. They do not know what they want to do. One founder is busy building another company, another founder who barely understands digital is driving sales. It is grossly mismanaged as an organisation. To give an example, they created a high dependency on just one client and when they lost that business, they had to lay off several people from the team. A simple rule of business is ensuring you don't put all your eggs in one basket, which is exactly what they broke, and the employees ended up paying for it. Lack of huge clientele: They end up getting extremely low level clients who barely have any budget for digital marketing. It is good for initial learning experience but not if you really want to grow in the field. I'd stay away from this organisation if you carry 3+ years of experience and are looking to grow in digital. Lack of Sales Team - The sales team are a critical team for a service based company. This agency lacked a solid sales/ biz development team. It was usually just one person who did the job and only managed to get clients who were quite low paying.
