Pros
- Some great people - the UX and UI designers, the Commercial team, the Office manager.
- Great office, and plans to move to an even bigger/ better one
- Amazing weekend at a spa for perm employees
- A few great leaders, who are truly inspirational to other employees
- Good client projects
- Skilled group of people
- A lovely group of people (with a few exceptions) from the lovely owners, to the contractors who may only be employed for 1 project. The recruitment process is thorough and people generally get on well.
- It can be useful and interesting to be part of the larger NTT Group
- Great work/life balance most of the time. People started and left at reasonable times.
Kontras
- Is it an agency or a corporation? It has the funky office and free snacks, great coffee etc, but is run by a senior team who don't have a large corporate background and can't quite grasp the agency culture. That leads to some frustration. I don't just mean the perks, I mean they want to hold on to hierarchy and control - and this restricts innovation.
- There were some people who demanded respect because they were senior - they did not earn it though. I saw them make juniors cry with their unhelpful, critical feedback. It wasn't even constructive - just on a power trip.
