How employees describe working at SmartBug Media
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
Fantastic! My only complaint is related to the new HR executive's communication style, which feels very combative and not as transparent as we're used to at SmartBug. Otherwise, I can't say enough great things!

Collaborating with teammates and generating work that knocks it out of the park for clients.
