      Great team of passionate and dedicated designers and social media experts. Opportunity to be heard and propose ideas you believe in.

      Cons

      Pros

      -Household name clients. The roster is tremendous and kudos to 1000heads for landing all of them -Fun events, decent benefits packages, and extremely kind people. They're actually some of the best people I've ever met from work -You'll get to work with some of the best minds in the world of social media. I honestly believe that -No micromanagement (from my experience), and you're given a lot of freedom to innovate and own projects. This is really a huge blessing for people who are ambitious, are looking to make an impact, and don't want to feel restricted in whatever it is they're doing -New office space in NY looks really good :)

      Cons

      The work-life balance. There was a strong feeling for me of "we wouldn't ask you to do anything we wouldn't do".....except that people requesting work were often willing to work until midnight or later, and sometimes on weekends. But I think for people looking to really get close to people from work and 100% immerse themselves in a company, this could be seen as a really good thing. So just depends largely on what you're looking for.

      Pros

      - The company has a great roster of clients and attracts exciting brands. - The team is focused and hardworking. - It's a company of specialists. They know their stuff! - The creative team was very passionate and produced work at a very high standard. - Always up for trying new ideas. - They're a friendly bunch and a pleasure to work with.

      Cons

      - I sensed there was pressure for the junior members of the team to work late. Especially if there was a director still in the office. - Due to the fast pace, some creative ideas and strategies were recycled. - There seemed to be quite a high turnaround of staff - mostly in mid to junior level roles. - The Ideation role is quite confused. I sense the role evolved over time - through an employee, therefore making it difficult for someone new to navigate. - The MD seemed to inflict a sense of unease and fear for the younger members of the company.

      Pros

      Brand name clients Good perks Fast growing company

      Cons

      Poorly managed Terrible work life balance - 12+ hour days should not be the norm anywhere but this place expects that as a minimum workday and often requires weekend dedication.

      Pros

      Great people: opportunity to work with some of the smartest and kindest people in the marketing space Flexible: flexible workplace environment with the opportunity to go into the office (which I personally am really enjoying lately) or work from home as needed Great Brands / Partners: great roster of clients who genuinely are great to work with and treat us like partners or an extended part of their team. Also has been a growing roster despite COVID setbacks which is great to see and should mean more opportunities Perks: pretty decent perks in terms of after work outings / drinks with coworkers and it's a great group to hang out with

      Cons

      Agency life: it is an agency so at times gets busy busy, which can lead to some periods of burnout. I do feel / hear that things are underway to better tackle this and distribute work across the team though which is great Growing pains: it's a quickly growing agency which is amazing from a growth and opportunity standpoint, but it does mean that in places process falls down and there can be some headaches here and there
