Pros

-Transparent, empathetic, smart, and innovative leadership. Zero egos. Always have their ears open, encouraging thoughts and ideas that actually get implemented. Care about you as a person and want to develop a relationship with you. -No competitiveness, just genuine team building, and teamwork. We celebrate each other's successes as our own. -Always striving to improve our processes and refine our services for the benefit of our clients and ourselves. -Encouragement and support to learn and grow in your area of expertise. -Consultative work where your expertise is valued. -Smart, fun, and interesting clients you want to build relationships with (and get to learn a lot from). -Supportive, encouraging, hilarious, wicked smart colleagues and leaders who make you feel valued. -Zero micromanagement. You are fully trusted to do your work. -Fully remote, great benefits, flexible work schedule, and no guilt if you want/need time off. -Active Slack channels that foster connections with your colleagues. (You should really see our internal-wins channel.) -Enforcement of a work/life balance. No answering frantic emails from your boss at all hours. If you work late at night or on a weekend, it's your choice to do so and never mandated. -Annual in-person retreat you'll actually be excited to attend (and sad when it's over).

Cons

-If your motto is "we've always done it this way" you may not be the best fit. Processes, workflows, and services are always evolving. Being willing to adapt, ask questions, and contribute to the process is an expectation. (This is a pro for many, but not all!) -Remote. Only a con because you enjoy your coworkers so much, you wish you could see them in person more than once a year.

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.
