Pros

I've found more professional opportunity at Newfangled than at any other job in my career. It's a place that encourages employees to discover their unique ability and apply it toward the great good of the firm. When I joined roughly four years ago, I developed a strong interest in creating a structured content marketing consulting service, and I was given the autonomy, support, and encouragement to do just that. It's important to me that I've had a real role in shaping our business, and I can point to many individuals inside of our firm who could share similar stories of using their interests and skill sets to put forward new ideas and create something new. Also, the benefits here are amazing. We essentially have a "take it as you need it" time off policy. Flexible work from home hours. We take a four day retreat to the mountains every year. We have numerous company-sponsored lunches and social events throughout the year. Newfangled does a lot to give back to its staff. And finally, I love the people. We're a small group, currently around 15 people, and we all really care about and support one another. And I have to say, my colleagues are brilliant. Working at Newfangled means working among some of the best in the industry, and I value the motivation that brings to me. I'm always inspired by and eager to learn from and collaborate with my colleagues, and I'd venture to say that's true for most everyone here.

Cons

We move fast and things can sometimes change quickly. The nature of working in digital marketing today requires us to operate that way. It's important to be flexible and nimble if you choose to work here.

Pros

Truly a great group of people. The people working in the accounts are so smart, and so strategic, and a pleasure to work with. There's a very flexible work/life balance, there isn't really an "approval" process for PTO as long as you get your stuff done and communicate when you may be OOO. You can really own your accounts and have a lot of freedom in your strategies if you have time. The health plan is really incredible, and 100% covered.

Cons

Seemed like people were getting too much on their plate in the last year or so. I haven't been at an agency (or even interviewed for one) that has had so many clients assigned to one person before. It's difficult to juggle, and there was little time for deep work. I would have rated Newfangled with 5 stars if I didn't have such a negative experience around maternity leave. In some states, there are minimum weeks leave that Newfangled is required to adhere to, and it took more than one meeting for me to get some of those weeks. In the end, I still didn't feel totally empowered to take my full leave that CA protects. During an already difficult time, I was needing to spend time learning about the laws, speaking with employment lawyers, and stressing about the situation.
