Great team of passionate colleagues - Associate Research Director 3Gem Employee Review

Remote first only visiting office once a month Good pay The data team really knows what they are doing and nice to have the in-house functionality

Really small company that clearly is not sure how to expand Blake culture hotspot, everything is everyone elses fault, especially from the view of sales. Not democratic in the way it works, no consideration for ideas from non head of department employees Office days absolutely useless, MD has no idea what he wants to talk about, there isn't even an agenda, just everyone shouting over each other and hoping for the best. Turnover is mind-blowing for such a small company. General belief that work SHOULD NOT be collaborative, which is unheard of in research. Use words like research and insight, it's all just mind numbing reporting with zero stretch for experienced researchers

Some colleagues were more friendly and welcoming than others...

I was hired to be a SRE for market research; this was clearly a SRM role for PR research as I did not work on any market research throughout my duration at 3Gem. During the interview, I was told this was a market research role and I might "lightly touch" on PR; which was clearly false. There was also confusion on what was required from a SRE as they thought SRE and RM were at the same level. When I flagged this at the beginning, I was told job titles and salary are all "fluid" - it seems that they just wanted to have a senior RM at a base rate of an SRE. There is also a clear lack of communication in the agency; it didn't help that they didn't use Teams and often ignored me on WhatsApp so I didn't have anyone to reach out to for any questions. They seem to be a small agency that don't really know what they are doing (which was clear in the in-person company meetings when everyone was just yelling over each other and panicking about the lack of business). I strongly recommend anyone reading this to not work here; there are plenty of other boutique agencies to work for without this level of toxicity.
