Pros

Whether you are stepping foot into Digital Marketing or have years of experience, Optimal, formerly Effective Spend, will cultivate a pathway for you to succeed and grow individually. You set clear goals and expectations with management and routinely check progress and troubleshoot any impasses. Everyone is super supportive and receptive to feedback and questions. There are no conflicts and everyone is easy going. It is a hybrid work model so you typical work remote two days a week, which I consider a benefit in itself due to the flexibility. Benefits are solid with 401k matching, unlimited PTO, company events/outings, paid holidays, healthcare, etc. even have an option for pet health insurance. The Culver City office is conveniently located near the platform and metro station for easy access. Parking is also assigned/provided. The team here is super self-motivated, collaborative and friendly. Definitely a great place to work!

Cons

Depending on where your parking is, it could be a 5-10 min walk. It's honestly negligible but rather be transparent than saying there are no cons.

Pros

Lots of autonomy in how you manage your work and clients. Strong growth opportunities if you’re willing to put in the effort. Really great people, supportive and easy to work with. Fast-paced environment where you’re constantly learning.

Cons

Leadership can lean on instinct over data at times. Fast growth creates some ambiguity. Expectations aren’t always clearly defined.
