frog reviews

Terrible creative leadership. No mentoring. GLASS CEILING FOR FEMALES. Leadership is 90% white men. Global design leadership is 100% white men. Oh, but there's a "diversity committee" working to change that. Diversity = white men and white women almost exclusively. Consistent lies about advancement and raises. The best people leave before they should because of the lack of growth opportunities.

– Poor leadership, in particular, C-level and VPs are spineless, not transparent, and incompetent and continue to promote and reward similar people. I believe poor leadership is they key reason so many talented frogs have left and why so many talented frogs want to leave. – Speaking from direct experience, Marketing leadership is sorely incompetent, with no understanding of the design industry or frog's culture. They choose to elevate and keep close key members who are similarly incompetent, mean-spirited, and will do "dirty work" and "say yes" with no questions or regard to integrity, quality, or consistency with frog's values (I could write a whole separate review about this; there's so much to say about the toxicity here) – Internal communications and HR leadership is laughable, very little transparency or thought put into delivering or carrying out sensitive or important company-wide news or strategies including recent layoffs. It seriously makes me wonder how people who are supposedly trained in internal communications still have their jobs after so many misses. As a result, they've engendered deep distrust between frogs and leadership. – The handling of layoffs in the past few years has been abysmal and a reflection of the character and integrity of the leadership team – No investment in tools and resources for day-to-day, learning and development including on-boarding – Basically NO global strategy around diversity and inclusion, putting most of the burden on individuals and then taking credit for their ideas later. It's too little, too late. I truly believe that how you've handled and executed frogs' concerns around diversity and inclusion will eventually reflect on your character. In my mind, you are on the wrong side of history. – Upward mobility for global support teams in particular Marketing is a joke – So much focus on $$$ at the expense of the wellbeing of employees. It IS possible to do both.
