Pros

I felt I really learnt a lot working here. It's not always easy but working on large and strategic projects with top brands gives you the kind of exposure that's hard to find elsewhere. The team is quite small but everybody is great, really helpful, and fun to hang out with. The office is in a WeWork, so no complaints there.

Cons

Not every project and client is a delight. Hours and workload can definitely get heavy. Some top colleagues moved on and the learning curve for their replacements can be steep. As a global company that's HQ'd in Europe, out of hours calls can be a drag, but general flexibility is pretty good.

Pros

I left the company early 2019 because I wanted to try something new. I love Universum and a big part of me wanted to stay. Here are a few reasons I would recommend Universum to everyone I know: - great colleagues - cool office (perfect location) - friendly and inclusive culture - supportive managers - flexible working conditions - awesome clients - true experts in its field - international exposure - fast growing and entrepreneurial Universum has given me an experience that I’ll never forget. This is by far the best employer I have ever had.

Cons

Not many opportunities to climb the traditional corporate ladder in some of the smaller offices. However, there are endless of opportunities within the group if you are ambitious and curious to try new things.
