Pros

Incredibly talented and kind coworkers Central office

Cons

MediaVision has a huge overworking culture which is widely known and normalised. They have a severe lack of career development where you have to beg for pay rises or progression. They put a million processes in place that makes your daily work life harder and not easier. The processes also change 5 times a month, so it’s hard to keep up with. MediaVision is a vacuum that is unable to see that it is incredibly far behind industry standard, in every way.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We’re glad that you enjoyed working as a part of our talented and friendly team – which is something that we’re very proud of here at MediaVision. I’m sorry to hear that it wasn’t all a positive experience for you. We’ve taken many pro-active steps, particularly over the last 6 months, to ensure that people are not feeling overstretched, and we have recently simplified our hours planning process to allow a more realistic view of capacity across the team. Adding additional team members in busy areas is always a priority, and we are building a bank of experienced freelancers to step in to support the team when necessary. We appreciate that too many processes can become confusing, and we are currently working hard to streamline them where can and keep things as friction-free as possible. We have celebrated a number of internal promotions over the last 18 months (please check out our team on LinkedIn) and supported some very successful internal moves. I’m sorry to hear that the chance for development didn’t come your way and I would be keen to learn more about this and how we might be able to improve in this area. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss. We wish you all the best. Natalie Bell, People Director

Pros

Good clients (though many leaving) Some nice team members who are happy to support each other Farringdon office is nice

Cons

Culture in mediavision is a hellhole and the CEO doesn't listen, gaslights people and the blame culture here is immense. I would highly recommend steering clear of this company if you want to be in a job that promotes good mental health. The blame culture and lack of support starts from the top and trickles down and you can see it across all of the faces of your colleagues who look like they've just come back from war half the time in the office, or on calls. Equipment issues were going on at the company for a long time with one member of staff being given over 4 old laptops that kept failing to do the job. No proper structure to bandings means junior members are doing jobs much higher than their pay grade but then no additional training or difference when leveling up leading to resentment of those above them. Probations extended for multiple members of staff not due to performance but due to company financials Time sheets were militant and yet didnt make sense at all - constantly having to be changed and some people given way too much to do and others giving themselves way more time than needed. Beware of being managements 'favourite' as this will only last so long, and when the tide turns, good luck.
