Pros

2 hours well-being time per month that is likely to be declined by your manager because work is more important than just taking 2 hours a month for your mental health

Cons

-Recently lost their biggest client and reassured people that everyone was safe and nobody was going to lose their jobs. One week later they laid off 6 people with immediate effect. They knew from day 1 that these employees jobs weren’t safe but they decided to lie instead and create a false sense of security rather than being straight up with them from the very start. A lot of the people they laid off don’t even work on the client they lost, so they lost their jobs for no good reason and without any explanation. -Below industry standard pay -You don’t get your time back fairly when you work outside of your salaried hours, expect this company to bleed heavily into your personal life. -Heavy workloads that run you to the ground, say goodbye to your personal time as you’ll have such unrealistic deadlines you’ll often work until midnight all for a measly 20-something grand salary -All of the people in the social team are anxiety-riddled, burned out and mentally unwell from mismanagement. Management in the social team is very unapproachable and non-understanding. All they cares about is materialistic pointless awards and they don't care who they destroy mentally in the process at trying to win them. Manager makes very questionable decisions but is never picked up on any of them, and the company wonders why nobody wants to stay here. -You’ll only make it far in this company if you become best friends with all the board members. -Complete disorganisation from the company founders, dropping heavy work loads at the last minute on people. -They have a bunch of outdated ‘perks’, they like to pile these up so it looks like they’re a great company to work for but none of it makes up for how bad it is to work here. One of their perks is that they have an in-house life coach who you’re supposed to go to when you need support or to vent. Not to be trusted with confidential information. -They can’t keep staff, people are constantly quitting. They’ve had a lot of people start the job and quit within a matter of week/a week. -People in the higher up team have literally advised bottom level staff to quit and find something better because this place is awful and was destroying their mental health. -Two bad reviews of the company have gone missing from Glassdoor, suspected by many that Brazen paid a company to get them removed, I wouldn’t be surprised if they removed this one too.

Pros

Fabulous team to work with. I felt totally part of the company the minute I began. Great client, hard working team but rewarded well. Lovely offices. Comfortable and airy rooms. Creative and also professional at all levels to all employees. Really hope to go back- and it’s rare to feel that way.

Cons

Not enough sandwich shops locally to run to.
