Pros

Too many office politics and such.

Cons

The work environment is undeniably toxic, characterized by a pervasive culture of fear, micromanagement, and lack of transparency. Employees are frequently subjected to unrealistic expectations, with little to no recognition or support from upper management. Communication is often one-sided, with feedback being dismissive or outright hostile, creating an atmosphere where employees feel undervalued and unheard. Favoritism and inconsistent enforcement of policies further exacerbate the tension, leading to low morale and high turnover. The lack of work-life balance, coupled with constant pressure to meet unattainable goals, leaves employees burnt out and disengaged. Overall, the toxic environment stifles creativity, collaboration, and professional growth, making it an unsustainable place for anyone seeking a healthy and fulfilling workplace.

Pros

The agency seems to prioritise employee experience and workplace culture, with initiatives such as Friday breakfasts, etc.

Cons

Career progression has been relatively slow. In more recent times, workplace politics feels more apparent, and there appears to be uneven access to development opportunities, with some individuals receiving more structured support for advancement.
