Pros

Honestly can't think of any

Cons

- Upper management plays favourites - There were some office bullies who would gang up on you to shirk their responsibilities and you would end up picking up slack for them, only for them to get all the credit and recognition after

Pros

DSTNCT is unlike your usual corporate setting. The agency genuinely cares about employee wellbeing and has built a culture where professionalism and fun coexist. Colleagues are helpful and supportive, creating a collaborative environment where people are willing to go the extra mile for one another. Most (not all) of the client portfolio is government-related, but contrary to common perception, DSTNCT takes pride in pushing creative boundaries to make government content engaging and refreshing. Working here also provides exposure to a wide range of verticals — from events and PR to social media campaigns and large-scale video series. This makes it an excellent place for growth, especially for those eager to broaden their skillsets. Even interns are entrusted with meaningful work beyond the typical “intern tasks,” making the experience valuable for building a strong resume.

Cons

That said, the nature of agency life means the pace can be fast and tasks can be time-sensitive, depending on the projects or accounts. Adaptability and quick turnaround are often required, but for those who thrive in a dynamic environment, the experience is highly rewarding.

Pros

I personally had a great experience working here. I felt trusted in my craft, my opinions were valued, and I was given space to grow and lead. That said, this experience may vary depending on your personality. The culture tends to value those who are more vocal, proactive, and comfortable sharing their thoughts, rather than just quietly getting the work done. What truly made the difference, though, were the people. It’s rare to find folks who are genuinely solid all around—not just in work ethic, but in morals, values, and just being great fellas. The kind of colleagues you actually want to hang out with after hours, not because you have to, but because you enjoy their company.

Cons

Knowing the clients, creative direction can sometimes be limited by client expectations or internal decisions. There were times when ideas had to be pulled back or reshaped, which could feel creatively restricting.
