Pros

- There are some really genuine people there. This was why I stayed so long. - The snacks.

Cons

- Severely under-resourced and mismanaged environment. - Head of Activation resorts to bullying tactics and threatens employees who raise concerns. - Mental health issues are disregarded; flagged concerns in exit survey were ignored. - Performative measures for employee care quickly disappear if you're not meeting their expectations. - Employees put on performance plans after resigning to expedite their departure. - Promotions and salary adjustments are delayed excessively; skilled staff are moved due to budget constraints. - Office culture favors a select few; those not in favor face significant obstacles. - Competitive and ego-driven atmosphere leads to a cutthroat environment. - Lack of leadership awareness and support; high turnover of knowledgeable middle management. - Departures due to stress from inadequate resources are rampant; company culture is deteriorating. - Replacement of experienced staff with inexperienced juniors adds strain to remaining team members.
