90% of the people at Curiosity are the best humans you will ever work with. They take work/life balance seriously and do it very well, especially considering the industry. The agency has some great clients and gets fun projects regularly. People are (generally) kind and incredibly talented. Great benefits package overall.
Minpunten
Pay is below industry standard, even for the midwest. Managers are not trained or coached on how to manage well, which means they lose (or let go) a lot of really excellent junior and midlevel employees for things that normally would be coaching or growth opportunities. That also contributes to their high turnover rate of people, which makes processes and client onboarding slow, clunky, and inefficient. They also have zero transparency around career growth, with promotions often feeling like playing favorites for titles rather than true career growth and skill fits. There is still very much a culture of "old boys club" masked behind their many DEI certifications, which struggle to hold up once you're there for longer than a couple of months. While the majority of people at Curiosity are total gems, the small handful who are not are mostly in senior leadership levels and trickle down a lot of toxic and harmful behavior. Managers are not held accountable for how they coach their employees, rather, it is incredibly common for junior employees to take the fall for a manager's poor direction and leadership. If you are already at director level or above and are content with where your career is at, Curiosity might be a great fit. If you are at anything lower than director level, you can and should find much better places to learn and grow.
