Pros
Making a career pivot can be intimidating, but the environment here is uniquely designed to support that leap.
Coming in with limited digital advertising knowledge, I found the leadership (Ian and Amenda) to be incredibly patient and nurturing. They prioritized your potential and willingness to learn over your past job titles.
In my previous industry, mistakes can be rigid, but here they are treated as teaching moments. I was guided through my errors without hesitation, which allowed me to grow both professionally and personally.
The permanent remote setup eliminated the stress of a commute, allowing me to focus entirely on mastering new skills while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The company culture actively discourages burnout, which is a breath of fresh air during a demanding career transition.
For holidays, they followed each country’s national holidays and held an agency closure annually at the end of the year.
Kontras
As a growing agency, the systems are constantly being polished and can feel fluid. If you are coming from a highly structured corporate environment, it may take a moment to adjust to the "build-as-we-go" nature of the agency.
While the experience is invaluable, the benefits package is still growing. Traditional corporate perks, like health insurance, were things they were working on, but it’s a trade-off for the level of mentorship and flexibility you get.
