Outstanding culture and leadership - Strategy Vertical Measures Employee Review

Incredible culture, amazing leadership, and some of the sharpest and smartest digital marketing professionals in the biz. Vertical Measures respects its employees and gives everyone the tools, resources and support needed to do their best work and ultimately grow their careers. If you're just starting out in the industry, I don't think there's a better place to start if you want to learn the ins and outs of digital marketing; if you're already a pro, you'll appreciate the high-caliber subject matter experts who will challenge you and help you grow. This is a collaborative agency that is constantly improving. In fact, its one of the core values written on a wall in the office: "Improve Each Day." Vertical Measures embodies that, and they provide everyone the opportunity to do the same.

The same as any other fast-paced digital marketing agency, I suppose. Work-life balance can sometimes suffer, but if you're passionate about digital marketing then even some of the late nights don't necessarily feel like work.

This is a great place if you are looking to start a career in digital marketing. After 3-5 years with Vertical Measures, most employees are either looking to or have left the company for more growth opportunities. Pros: - Allow time for you to learn the industry through training, conferences and industry reading. - Opportunities to become an industry thought leader through writing articles for the company blog and/or host webinars. - Typical agency setting with a laid back environment, drinks, team activities and company gatherings. - Flexible and generous PTO.

- The executive team lacks leadership skills and the owners are aware of this but have yet to do anything about it and provide additional training. - Processes are broken even though they will spend endless time on trying to map them. More time is spent on mapping without actually implementing any of the changes. - High turnover with employees and clients. - Company culture was a huge focus to the point that it felt forced in order to win local awards and recognition. - They easily promote employees based more on the fear of knowing someone may be unhappy rather than recognizing the skills and contributions they bring to the company. Just as quick as they will promote, they will demote and bring someone new in for a position they may have promised/discussed with you during the initial 'promotion'.
