Pros

As soon as I was hired here I was embraced as part of a big work family. Social events and activities are prioritized to help us bond as a team in a remote world. Amiable personalities matter as much as talent when it comes to hiring. There is a strong sense of mutual respect and decorum among the entire company when it comes to interacting and getting through difficult moments. Senior management works to constantly keep improving upon our already great benefits & perks package as employees. I feel taken care of and believe that my bosses and team care about my well-being beyond work. As for the work, it's generally exciting and forward-thinking. We are encouraged to push boundaries as creatives. We work with innovative, problem-solving brands that have morally sound business goals. There are lots of opportunities to grow and develop as a leader as well as learn new skills on the job. Titles matter very little during the creative process. Our process is well-oiled, while suggestions for improvement are always taken seriously by management. We have a really strong & empathetic team of project managers that keep everyone on track and keep projects running smoothly. Overall, this agency is a gem!

Cons

If you're itching to work with huge global brands (and huge budgets) like Apple and Netflix, this isn't the place for you.

Pros

Herman-Scheer is a tight-knit and talented creative team that truly cares about the work. The team is a delight to work with: good-natured, genuine, and full of interesting, sharp individuals across disciplines. Leadership encourages initiative and supports experimentation, making it a great environment for self-starters who want to take ownership and help shape a growing agency.

Cons

The high expectations and fast pace can be challenging to those without strong self-direction. The agency is still evolving, which means the people who are successful here are comfortable with a level of ambiguity and excited by trying new things.

Pros

A few kind teammates try to support each other against the chaos.

Cons

- Office cliques dominate everything, and anyone outside the inner circle becomes a target. - Some managers shield favorites while ignoring hard-working employees, creating constant frustration and resentment. - Transparency is nearly nonexistent, and passive aggression hits instantly once you stop agreeing with every decision. - Skilled employees get sidelined while unqualified staff rise simply for staying silent. - Financial decisions make no sense and destroy any trust in the system. - Feedback quickly turns into personal attacks when it challenges someone higher up. - Meetings feel like performances where listening is fake and no real change occurs. - The mood swings unpredictably depending on who is present, forcing everyone to tread carefully to avoid unfair punishment. - It is exhausting to focus on work while navigating a system that rewards the wrong people and punishes honesty and integrity.
