Profound Strategy reviews

This agency is 10 years old and is still blaming shifts and "growing pains" on its infancy. They have had enough time and experience to learn but refuse to because the higher-ups egos and micromanaging get in the way too frequently. I've seen women be treated poorly compared to my male counterparts which has made me uncomfortable at times. The higher-ups will put x,y,z strategies and processes in place with no vision just to see what sticks and leaves employees trying to guess how to do their job only to be literally yelled at. Many employees I've confided in have been called on the phone and screamed at by one of the main higher-ups. It's a tense environment at times. Not worth working from home, there are way better companies you could work for remotely.

The only disadvantage of working at Profound is the same thing that makes it so wonderful: It's a small agency that has limited roles and room for growth. They are excellent at making sure you're satisfied in terms of daily work, and they're even open to hearing ideas about potential new roles. But if you're happy with what you're doing and just want to continue to grow in your career, you might find it difficult to advance in any meaningful way. This isn't necessarily the company's fault. They can't simply create roles or opportunities for the heck of it, after all. But after a few years, I think any person looking to expand their skills further or make more money will find it tempting to jump ship. If you're looking for a place where you can make significantly more money as you advance (or receive any bonuses), this might not be a great fit. I have friends doing the exact same work at different agencies making twice as much as I did at Profound Strategy, which made it difficult to want to stay.
