Pros
With the chance to work on their (very few) big name clients, Brickfish provides a great opportunity to get some experience under your belt. This is a ‘get in, stay for a year to get experience, then get out’ type of company to work for. There is no title or compensatory growth, so there isn’t a reason to stay long term. Another positive is that the people that work there are great. They are very friendly, fun, and they all hang out together. I have made many long lasting friends at Brickfish.
Cons
Unfortunately, the majority of these positive reviews are written by the CEO or by current employees after being asked to by the CEO. The way that Brickfish is run is unfortunate. The CEO doesn't connect with his employees and lies to his clients / future clients, creating chaos in the office. He purposely hires people right out of school because their lack of knowledge and desperation for employment is easily manipulated. If you trust him, then you are making a deal with the devil. Brickfish is a digital agency that doesn’t create their own content because the CEO is too cheap to hire a production team, which means there is limited work to do. The very few clients that have stuck around have decreased the work and money in their contracts or have left Brickfish for more reputable agencies. Upper management and the CEO have a lack of respect for their employees and think that they can do anyone’s job better, which creates tension and outright fights / scenes in the middle of the office.
