Pros

- It was fabulous to be able to work remotely, especially during a global pandemic and there was nice flexibility in work hours when needed. - The team were nice to get on with and the company did make an effort to organise lots of different virtual social events, which helped develop rapport between everyone. - It gave me a great insight and knowledge of influencer marketing and advertising, something that is not fully developed here in Ireland. - The work wasn't difficult to pick up and one could be onboarded quickly and get involved with the actual work.

Cons

- Upward Promotion didn't seem to be a thing - During my time, I only saw cross departmental promotion. Despite a number of colleagues working in the roles of a higher position, and succeeding, it was a struggle to even get a title change, never mind an actual promotion. - Management had great ambitions but many had zero managerial experience which sometimes resulted in miscommunication and higher work loads. - Once the initial learning phase was over, I found there were few opportunities to learn more in the company. - The work could get very monotonous and at times, and was quite admin heavy, despite the various jobs titles that anyone had.

Pros

- Casual work environment - Young work team - Growing list of interesting clients - Exposure to international brands

Cons

- Inexperienced senior management. The majority of senior management have never worked in another company or had any formal management training. -. Even though the roles on the team have different titles, they all do essentially the same work but for different titles and pay grades. This means there is little opportunity to progress within the team. I never saw someone get promoted within my year there. - Don’t work here if your goal is to get away from administrative tasks. Very little direct interaction with brands and 95% of the position is sending out and responding to emails. Overall the lack of company strategy and experienced management is a huge downfall. They hire amazing people who are lovely to work with and super talented. Still, there is nowhere to go as the managers/CEO are unwilling to hand over any responsibility to experienced people who can help take this company to the next level.
