Pros

The employees are really good but not the leadership. Taco Tuesday are great ! Some great clients

Cons

Every employee is just a number of the leadership. What's your billing percent? They literally see how many hours of work did each employee do every week. There is no room for your growth. It's all about doing the same work again again. There is so much internal politics which is crazy . I have worked at places before but it's never been so crazy. Undeserving people are always given shout outs but the people who are actually doing all the work are never given any Even if we give them a benefit of the doubt about it being an agency, no one can explain that almost 50% of the employees have either left or were let go in the past 1 year. This brings in so much instability. I was promised so many things while I was negotiating before the start but none of them were actually met.

Pros

As a team member, I feel encouraged to step outside of my comfort zone and take calculated risks. The company's emphasis on lifelong learning and development is invaluable. I appreciate the opportunities to expand my skill set and contribute to diverse projects. One aspect I particularly enjoy is the strong sense of camaraderie and support, despite being a fully remote employee. The team feels like a close-knit community where everyone is valued and heard. I appreciate the company's commitment to work-life balance and its focus on employee well-being.

Cons

While the small team size allows for a high degree of autonomy and ownership, it also means wearing multiple hats at times. This can be challenging but also rewarding as it provides opportunities for diverse skill development.

Pros

Talented people who try hard despite the environment. Remote flexibility.

Cons

Tallwave’s culture has effectively collapsed. Despite heavy emphasis on being “values-driven,” leadership behavior is inconsistent, exclusionary, and damaging. Favoritism is openly practiced, with the CEO investing time and attention in chosen employees while disregarding others. Communication is performative rather than honest. Long-tenured employees have steadily exited, leaving burnout and significant loss of institutional knowledge. Having since worked under strong leadership, it’s clear how much effective management matters. Its absence in recent years at Tallwave significantly contributed to the company’s cultural decline. The company’s approach, or lack thereof, to employee separations reflects broader gaps in professionalism, process, and leadership accountability.
