SmartBug Media Marketing Department Employee Reviews

Overall a positive experience with the team - everyone is so skilled and generous. The primary issue to me is capacity, which in turn affects morale and culture. It's difficult to feel like your time is valued or be creative and motivated when you're underwater and you don't have work-life balance

Review from Marketing Dept

I feel extremely privileged to be at SmartBug, let alone be in my position here. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to create something so big. I feel comfortably challenged by the work yet supported by a great team. The constant state of growth is exactly what I want.

Review from Marketing Dept

I've worked at SmartBug for a few years and have seen it evolve as market needs changes, as we've grown bigger and as we've moved from offering standardized offers to truly customized solutions to meet our clients' needs.

Review from Marketing Dept

Sufficient for the role and experience, however I know it is not fully in line with my counterparts. Meaning, the compensation does not match the scope. But, reasons were provided and I understood what I was accepting.

Review from Marketing Dept

The salary that I wanted.

Review from Marketing Dept

Freedom to work from home, have a flexible schedule and for the most part, the ability to work with clients that align with our product offering.

Review from Marketing Dept

Flex time - i.e. being able to work more or less on a given day, just have to hit your hours for the month

Review from Marketing Dept

Compared to other areas of the market, as well as other agencies in our industry, I feel like we're a bit underpaid. Pay structures are not clear, pay bands are not openly communicated, and raises and bonuses seem like murky processes. Our benefits are good.

We're underpaid and don't get enough PTO

Everybody is genuinely invested in the direction of the company. We all want to meaningfully contribute, and everyone wants to help each other out. It is not uncommon (and is becoming more frequent) to discover that "problems" I'm thinking about, my team is thinking about and working on as well.

Remote work but paired with real encouragement to get to know each other and still have a coworker culture.

I enjoyed the transparency and authenticity of the interviews.

Every interview I did felt like a conversation, not like I was just being drilled with questions. Both sides were making sure we were a good fit for each other.

All the one on one time I spent with managers, they really had a chance to get to know me and ensure it was a good fit!

I appreciated that it was in-depth, I got to speak to a variety of employees and not just one person which was awesome

My previous ratings are based on my personal interview experience. I scheduled my video interviews as soon as I was sent calendar invitations—but the process still took about 6 weeks. I believe we've changed that and it's something the leadership team is still wor
