What do you like best about your company?

Most people are nice -- to a fault.

What did you like most about the interview process?

It was a mellow, informal conversation.

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Better collaboration. Investment in hiring qualified leaders. Pump the brakes on the participation trophies.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Listening to and trusting the people they hire. They are also exceptionally terrible at communication.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

My job function (content) is not a priority at the company, so my role is likely undervalued.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

It's a very cliquey organization, and centered around a core group of New Engeners. For all the talk about inclusivity, it's really not an inclusive place to work.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Leadership is making very knee-jerk decisions about merger acquisitions, service evolution, and marketing the agency in general. There needs to be a leveling of the marketing organization and dramatically simplify for execution by hiring skilled B2B marketers.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

They need to completely re-evalute the company culture to be more inclusive of a wide range of perspectives -- not just liberal Gen Z kids. There's an assumption that everyone has the same values. That's statistically impossible with a company this size.
