      Pros

      I love working here because I have a great work/life balance and my team is awesome at helping each other and jumping in when needed.

      Cons

      The only con I have right now is the company hasn't really brought on new business but I know the company is working hard to attract more and hopefully so because my team and I want to continue to grow and stay here.

    2. Anybody at 22Squared want to give us an update on Toygar?

        Pros

        22Squared was my dream job out of college. I was impressed with all the senior leadership that had started out as interns and juniors and worked their way up to the top.

        Cons

        After Covid and new leadership, we started to lose some business. Clients cut back budgets and they hardly gave out raises, bonuses, or promotions. The people that had given their life to this company were let go on a whim. I was surprised how hush hush they were about it, with not even a thank you to all the years the higher ups had given. We had to speculate. They had multiple rounds of layoffs going, but after every one they reassured the team everything was okay. Well, they haven’t stopped.

        I don't know how helpful this is but I was a search coordinator earning I think just under $45k in 2018.

        It’s a nice place to start your career, but you will not be paid a lot. 100% truth about that place.

        Outside opinion (never worked there but been both agency and brand side) they seem a little sleepy right now. I used to hear a lot about them and they were seen as competition, especially in ATL, and recently all I’ve heard is they’re losing clients and clients they have are pulling back on investments. All hearsay though.

      Project Manager

      Hey everyone, Just needed to vent a bit about this job hunt. It's been a wild ride, to say the least. Lately, it feels like I'm sending my applications into a black hole, and I'm not alone in this, am I? Interviews seem to be the rarest gems, and job postings seem to disappear as soon as I hit 'apply.' Anyway, I'd love to hear your experiences. What's been your biggest frustration as a job seeker? How do you stay motivated in this crazy journey? Any words of wisdom or empathy to share?

      Marketing Manager

      What are people’s thoughts on those personality and logic tests some companies made you do as part of the hiring process? I frankly don’t like them. I understand if the test is for people who more technical but for roles leaning more creative or ideas based - I don’t understand how patterns I’m forced to review in a short time tells them I’m worth it to get the Hiring manager round. One asked me 50 ques in 15 min. And they never tell how you did on the tests

      Brand Marketing Strategist

      Anyone have any stories of times where you declined an offer at one company (just because it wasn’t the exact right fit or you got another better offer at that time) and u successfully re-connect? Is that a burned bridge forever? Would they consider you for another job again?
