Pros

I worked there for 7 years. Hands down it is the people. The people, the people, the people. An amazingly talented, intelligent, kind and fun group of individuals that I felt lucky to work with on a daily basis. That being said, I also worked with wonderful high-end clients and on a very diverse set of projects. I learned excellent skills here that makes me now feel confident when headed into any interview. I felt like I could make a mistake in this environment and could learn from it instead of being punished for it.

Cons

The company has grown a lot since I started there, and unfortunately I'm not sure that this is a good thing. The leadership also seems to be missing. The direction of the company is often unclear and ever changing, and transparency is more of an illusion.

Pros

Smaller agency with lots of opportunities to broaden your skill set and make an impact. Larger clients with an emphasis on creative and impactful work.

Cons

As a smaller agency, profitability is always a priority and a key driver of decisions. Long hours.

Pros

The individual contributors and mid-level managers (in Oakland) are generally great people and do good work. Lots of good lunch spots near the office and its close to BART.

Cons

The founders and board are completely clueless. They received an initial $24m from investors in 2012 and have nothing to show for it. Large customers churn and they are not replaced by new subscriptions. Meanwhile, at company meetings, we get shown complex charts that only serve to obfuscate the fact that the company is not doing well. Great people eventually leave or get laid off, because there is no future for them at Fluid. At one point, the company culture was decent, but they decided to move the office to Oakland and split the company into 4 wings across two floors and it fell apart. It took the extra effort of the employees to make the office not feel like an abandoned parking garage.
