Pros

- Interesting, large scale projects

Cons

- The partners were continuously rude and bullying to contractors and other members of the full time team. They would often speak negatively of them in meetings and behind their backs - it quickly created an atmosphere of mistrust. - it’s expected to work with creative teams based in the states as a Project Manager, this increases your work day as there limited cross over periods with time difference (ie London vs San Francisco). - they have a saying of ‘be comfortable with ambiguity’. It honestly just represents poor management that often mis-brief / give confusing comments that you need to unpick. - HR leadership is one of the worse I’ve ever come across. This is my biggest red flag for this agency - it’s ran by someone with zero experience in any other work setting, they will say what you want to hear, they will not resolve any conflicts - I couldn’t see any benefit of this person to the actual team in the agency - it’s all fluff.

Pros

Amazing and intelligent people. You can learn a lot from them and they are very generous with helping each other out. Collaboration between everyone in the studio(s) are stellar. They also get a nice mix of big mega corps and upcoming startups so the work is always fresh and exciting.

Cons

The studio space in the San Francisco office can get cosy. But its nice to work closely with everyone I guess.

Pros

• Great for Interns and Young Designers: Moving Brands offers valuable opportunities for interns and young designers to work on a variety of projects, gaining diverse experience. This exposure is excellent for building a strong portfolio. • Career Growth Through Recognition: The agency is well-known in the industry, making it a notable name to have on your resume. Working here can open doors and make it easier to apply for jobs elsewhere due to the brand’s reputation.

Cons

• Shift in Company Values: There has been a noticeable change from the previous people-first culture. The agency used to focus on team support and helping individuals enhance their performance based on personal goals. Now, if employees don’t meet specific expectations, there seems to be less support, and managers may escalate issues to HR, sometimes involving unrelated concerns. This has created a perception that there is no true safe space. • Transparency Issues: Concerns about hidden discussions and non-transparent decision-making have led to trust issues among team members. • Management and Work-Life Balance: Management challenges and high workload expectations can lead to long hours and impact work-life balance. • Limited Advancement: While great for gaining experience, long-term career growth within the company may be limited.
