This seems a very strange set of comments. If you had worked here as a Producer, then you would know that far from being micromanaged, the producer is one of the Producer is one of the most empowering roles you can imagine.
We pride ourselves on our supportive, open company culture where creativity is encouraged to flourish – something that is positively commented on by pretty much everyone who joins us.
Recognising great work is something we do daily, and promotions are frequent. The vast majority of our senior developers and technical architects (for example) have been promoted from within. Everyone is encouraged to aim to get to the next level if they wish, but not put under pressure to do so. There is an open promotion nomination system, and there are no limits to how many people can achieve each grade. If you can achieve the standard, you will be promoted to that level.
Far from being terrified of people leaving, we have an amazingly loyal team. Personnel turnover is incredibly low for this sector, with average tenures being well in excess of five years.
With regards to WFH, we are a full-time studio-based agency. We believe it promotes creativity and collaboration and contributes to the thriving company culture we have here. This is made clear to any potential new applicants and has been emphasised to any new hires since 2021.
The anonymity of this platform means that individuals aren’t identified, but given the similarity of tone and same misleading themes, it may be that this comment was placed by the same person as the only other overtly negative comment we’ve had, and we would question the motivations for placing it.
