Pros
Incredible team – The people are genuinely amazing: knowledgeable, supportive, and kind. There’s a real culture of helping each other succeed. Strong, lived company values – Hallam’s values aren’t just words on a wall. Accountability, radical candor, being a B Corp, employee ownership, and the simple principle that “no one is a dick” genuinely shape how people work together. Great benefits – Competitive and thoughtful benefits that support wellbeing and work–life balance. True remote working – Remote work is fully supported and trusted, not just a token policy. People have real flexibility in how and where they work. Strong career opportunities – Plenty of room to grow, develop new skills, and progress within the company. High-quality clients – The company works with interesting, reputable clients on meaningful projects, which keeps the work engaging and impactful.
Cons
Work can get busy at times – Like any agency environment, there are periods where things feel quite fast-paced and a bit manic when multiple projects ramp up at once. That said, the support systems, team culture, and understanding around workload mean it has never come close to burning me out.
