Pros

If you're fresh out of college and looking for that first gig you can get a start here.

Cons

- Disruptive Advertising treated employees like they were completely replaceable. - Once the founder stepped back, everything slowly turned into endless meetings and people pretending everything was fine when it was clearly falling apart. - Culture felt painfully fake, like the company cared far more about appearances than actually treating employees or clients properly. - Workload became absurd, and somehow the answer was always to work even harder with even less support. - Good employees kept leaving, while the ones who stayed were forced to cover two or three roles at once. - Promotions, raises, and support became nearly impossible to find, but executives always had another polished speech ready. - It became painfully obvious that the people carrying the real workload were ignored, and eventually it started feeling like effort mattered far less than blindly going along with everything.

Sorry it didn't end well. The challenges you're naming aren't lost on me, and they're part of what I'm focused on as we keep building. Wishing you the best in what's next.

Pros

As a newer employee at Disruptive, I've felt really welcomed and supported by my team, which has been nice. It’s definitely a fast paced environment, but that’s pretty typical in the agency world and not something I see as a negative. One thing I appreciate is that Disruptive takes the time to understand the “why” behind client goals which makes the work feel more meaningful. It feels like there is a real effort to provide the right resources and support to succeed. I’ve also found the DU courses to be valuable from what I know about them so far.

Cons

None that I have experienced so far

Glad your first few months here have been good. Caring about the why behind client goals is a big part of how we try to operate, and I'm glad that's coming through. Hope your experience keeps getting better from here.

Pros

- Fully remote with the option for office use for locals - Pretty good work life balance - Love the people on my team - Caring committee budget to fund community give-back projects - Money games - A lot of genuinely great clients

Cons

- It can be high pressure to be responsible to drive results for clients and their business growth - In order to achieve career and salary growth, you typically have to find a way to balance work across 20+ accounts while also doing great work - There are things on the administrative/corporate owned side of things creating direct barriers to keeping clients happy

The advice landed. Future vision is where I tend to live, and "more tactical, more transparent" is a fair push. I'll take it. The cons you named are real too. Pressure to drive client results across a heavy book of business is part of the work here, and the administrative friction is something we're working on. None of it is invisible to me. Grateful you're here and grateful you took the time to write this.
