Pros

When i was searching for Job, as a creative person i was looking for a creative web agency throughout UK. Cyber Duck was the only company which represented a creative flair in its branding and website which attracted me, which was not so common style in other websites. The most interesting thing which every designer or coder would like is, there is a room for experimenting new approaches in both design and coding. I was allowed to experiment on several projects, which in turn grabbed many international awards and the company grew after that. There was no hierarchy or boss playing in the company. Multiculture environment , could see at least a person from each country around the globe. I studied and experienced so many things, than from my university. Got confidence to do client meetings. Got chance to do direct Microsoft projects from US. I left Cyber Duck as my wife was not well and had to return back, otherwise i would have been still working there.

Cons

Decision making process, get delayed by too many different opinions. Could give more importance for brand and colour psychology .

Pros

After many years and counting, Cyber-Duck has repeatedly demonstrated support and care for me and my family, and a real effort to make the work place inclusive, flexible, comfortable and friendly. The team are not only very knowledgeable but friendly and helpful.

Cons

Could improve structured training and time for researching and improving efficiency in some parts.

Pros

The collaborative approach between the design and development teams, along with the opportunity to work on projects for big-name clients, was a huge career boost.

Cons

Poor company culture and value. They were constantly taking on new projects without considering who would actually do the work. This led to massive burnout and overwhelmed employees. To top it off, the company didn't offer any support when dealing with challenging or disrespectful clients. It's no surprise that so many people have left in the past two years. It's a shame because there's real potential here, but the company needs to prioritise its employees and stop overpromising clients. While the company claimed to value diversity, there was a pattern of promotions favouring British men, which limited opportunities for women and colleagues from different backgrounds.
