Poor Leadership and Structural Issues – Disappointing Experience Despite Great People
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The salary was competitive, and most team members were extremely supportive, kind, and committed. There was a strong sense of solidarity among peers, which was one of the few positive aspects during my time there. Client relationships were also inspiring, and many clients were exciting to work with – although, over time, several were lost due to structural issues and expiring contracts, which were not proactively managed.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
My experience at this agency was unfortunately dominated by poor leadership and internal instability – despite the fact that many colleagues were truly wonderful to work with.
Internally, the environment was highly unstable: constant reorganizations made it difficult for teams to find structure or focus. Management lacked clear direction, and responsibility for stress and disorganization was often pushed downward. Meetings were frequently tense, and a respectful, open exchange was not consistently possible – interruptions and emotional pressure from leadership were not uncommon.
One of the most problematic aspects was the promotion process. Employees were asked to evaluate each other, but in some cases were later approached by their supervisors and encouraged to change their feedback. This significantly damaged trust and transparency.
In addition, leadership sometimes behaved inappropriately – including speaking negatively about team members behind their backs and blurring professional boundaries by looking into private social media accounts.
While there is potential in the team and client base, the overall culture and leadership structure made it difficult to thrive professionally or personally.
