Pros

The only good think that I can think of is that because everyone is doing everything you will get exposure to a lot of stuff as it happens with every small agency.

Cons

The management is very arrogant, they demand that you work weekends, there is a family culture that makes all the politics be personal. Very stressful environment you dont want to be there! They have the idea that they are the best agency where as in reality they are a small company with 20 people and few clients. Village mentality

Pros

After many years and counting, Cyber-Duck has repeatedly demonstrated support and care for me and my family, and a real effort to make the work place inclusive, flexible, comfortable and friendly. The team are not only very knowledgeable but friendly and helpful.

Cons

Could improve structured training and time for researching and improving efficiency in some parts.

Pros

The collaborative approach between the design and development teams, along with the opportunity to work on projects for big-name clients, was a huge career boost.

Cons

Poor company culture and value. They were constantly taking on new projects without considering who would actually do the work. This led to massive burnout and overwhelmed employees. To top it off, the company didn't offer any support when dealing with challenging or disrespectful clients. It's no surprise that so many people have left in the past two years. It's a shame because there's real potential here, but the company needs to prioritise its employees and stop overpromising clients. While the company claimed to value diversity, there was a pattern of promotions favouring British men, which limited opportunities for women and colleagues from different backgrounds.
