Pros

-Many clients are non-profits -Big name clients for your resume -Beer Thursdays and free food

Cons

-Not a fan of the management -If you aren't in the group of favorites, then don't expect much -Management buffed a huge project and lost a ton of money, so instead of firing the new partner who was responsible, they laid off a quarter of the company with no warning. If there was ever a time that showed how little they value their employees... -Encouraged everyone to work long hours due to poor project management from above, with bribes of hefty bonuses. Never gave said bonus.

Digital Pulp Response
8y
We are always sorry to see negative feedback, but wanted to respond to these comments citing events from over 2 years ago. In 2014 we did in fact lose money on a large project for a non-profit cause. We did in fact lose several people at the end of that year. And like at every other agency, people on this project did put in extra hours to help meet a deadline, and each hour was deeply appreciated by us, our client, and (we hope) by the audience who is still being helped by all our efforts for this philanthropic initiative. On a financial note, we have always had a bonus program for 100% of our employees. In lean years like that one, the bonuses are in fact lean. That said, Digital Pulp has nearly doubled in size since that time, and our staff has enjoyed solid bonuses every year. We consider rough patches as an opportunity to learn, and in the past 3 years we’ve done all we can to become smarter, more careful in our approach, and more clear in our commitment to our employees and their contributions. We’ve just completed a couple of the strongest years in our 20+ year history, and it’s our team’s shared goal to continue our growth and success.

Pros

Cutting edge, innovative work that is often quite impressive. There are also a lot of very smart, progressive, and decent people working there. The pay isn't bad.

Cons

This must be what it feels like to work for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The office is dominated by 3-4 very large alpha personalities. They can be supportive and helpful one day, then turn around the next day and show a side that is not just impatient but also mean-spirited. Once you make a mistake, it's a long uphill climb to regain their trust. You would expect a lot of collaboration from a small agency but, more often than not, people tend to work in silos. Friday afternoon lunch is overrated - unless you like hearing the same people talking about themselves every week.

Pros

Brilliant work comes out of DP for a reason. It has many talented individuals across all disciplines. Yes, there is free lunch on Fridays. If you are a designer, strategist, experience expert or business developer you will gain butt loads of great experience because the company is so small.

Cons

I worked at DP for years and contributed in every aspect of every client business and can honestly say that the company is a cult of personality. All accomplishments, innovations and client relations are attributed to the senior-most team members. Management is not interested in developing talent, only in talent supporting the "genius" of partners. That is a shame because they do this at the expense of building a legacy group. Prior to the arrival of mid-level management there was free flowing style and less political maneuvering.
