Not the worst agency, but will NOT recommend

Pros

- Flexible working arrangement (2 day WFO) - Decent annual leave entitlement

Cons

- Unstructured management with unclear and shifting expectations; employees often need to “manage up” to fill in gaps - Contributions are rarely recognised, while minor mistakes may be disproportionately scrutinised - Despite positioning itself as flat, the culture is highly hierarchical with top-down decision-making - Heavy delegation from senior leadership, but limited constructive feedback or guidance for growth - Limited mentorship and follow-through on development; junior staff are rarely given meaningful ownership - Workloads can be high, with multiple accounts assigned without adequate consultation on bandwidth - Expectations around responsiveness can extend beyond standard working hours, including across time zones - Internal communication is very inconsistent, especially around resourcing decisions and organisational updates - Strong focus on tracking output (e.g., timesheets) rather than overall impact or quality of work - Compensation progression, bonuses, and overall employee well-being could be improved relative to expectations

Pros

Clear lesson on what kind of work culture to avoid in the long term.

Cons

Workload is not sustainable or human-centred. Toxic culture where excessive working hours are treated as commitment. Lack of appreciation despite consistent performance. Management prioritizes results over people.

Pros

Great people and mentors. Amazing culture. No need to worry about politics, for the most part.

Cons

Work-life balance could be better.
