RED FLAG: 50% Turnover Rate - Anonymous employee Highwater Employee Review

The environment is definitely challenging, but in the best way. You learn a lot quickly and are constantly pushed to improve and develop new skills. This is a place where hard work and effort actually matter, and people who are motivated and eager to learn tend to do well. It’s not a role where you can do the bare minimum and coast. Expectations are high, accountability is real, and performance is noticed. The culture naturally attracts and develops high-performing people, which makes it a strong environment for growth if you’re willing to put in the work.

Put in the time and veg the outcomes

• They are honest about who they are. Control-driven, demanding, not warm. • Expectations are very clear. You will never mistake authority for collaboration. • Strong fit if you are an obedient pushover with little self-dignity and high tolerance for an abusive toxic workplace. • No false promises about career growth, autonomy, or long-term upside.

• Requires a productivity tracking app installed on your machine, even for Director-level roles. A surveillance-first, fear-driven culture. • The work stinks. Agency leadership are low IQ bullies with no real vision, so the output never rises above mediocrity. • All roles are about compliance, not leadership. • Obsessive control, zero inspiration. • This is a dead-end company creatively and professionally.
