Overworked, underpayed. Not a good place to work.
Job security depends on new business coming in once current promotions expire. Not unusual to have 20 to 30 people laid off if not enough new promotions are not projected.

How's the work life balance at GMR Marketing?
Top Employee Response
Really positive I hear from people working at other companies working +60 hours, while an occasional week or two a year you will probably get up there it is not the norm. There definitely a clear understanding of work hours and personal time outside of work.
Good, I have been with the company for a few months now and I have yet to work a significant amount of overtime in a given week. There are also a lot of at-work social events and opportunities. The PTO amounts leave something to be desired, but I'm looking forward to my first holiday shutdown over Christmas and New Years.
I think we (GMR) have great work-life balance, however the challenge becomes when your CLIENT doesn't necessarily have that balance. In that case, it's encouraged to have a discussion with your clients to set a better understanding of how/when it's best to communicate.

Overall positive view, Cameron is pretty transparent on what is going on with the company as a whole, excluding sensitive information for higher level employees. Wish we kept the old layout for desks, since now we are more out in the open with less privacy and sickness seems to travel easier.

Seems to be a large demand for Virtual Reality as the big new tech in general. Difficulties would be just experience with new client demands that are beyond current technology limitations and explaining they aren't paying for what they are expecting.
