Okay - Office Manager HYD Employee Review

The people and talent really make this business what it is. Some of the best, brightest, and kindest in the industry.

All of the negatives of being a part of a "big" agency with little (or none) the benefits. The work. Tight timeframes, limited scope for agility, lack of long-term strategy, and inability to influence trajectory or organisational change. Being a specialist service as part of a larger conglomerate often ends up simply becoming a vendor, inheriting all of the risk with none of the reward.

-Parties every thursday or so (on the house)

-Hostile work environment; company management is rather rude and scornful. You get no appreciation for the work you do. You 'just' obey. -General attitude is being disrespectful towards each other. My guess it's an impact of the management attitude. -Staying long hours, sometimes people stay the whole weekends. Not worth it. -People overused and pressured day by day. This doesn't feel good. -Technologically handicapped environment. IT oriented company that utilises workflow techniques and methodology as seen in the late nineties. -Chaos and panic resides everywhere, any day. No consistency nor proper planning of the future projects. A big massive mess in which everyone stays late and stresses out. They say it's Agile. I say its an industrial factory. -Most of the projects are underestimated. People suffer from this. -I have seen at least one occurrence of person crying in the room because of all of above. -Chances of any kind of promotion are thin; they'd rather cut the costs instead.
