Shiny logo clients for your portfolio

Minpunten

Company owners try to skate through on clout but in reality theres not much substance at the start up Recess. Theres a big confusion if Recess wants to be a production company or a full service ad agency -- both ends it handles with a lack of maturity. Theres a lack of leadership on the creative side, siloed behavior and a lack of diversity not just in people but thought. Across the agency is hive mind behavior where bad habits are created and rewarded.

Pluspunten

I worked with some incredibly talented people.

Minpunten

The problems started with leadership and spread through almost every part of the job. The hours got insane, deadlines kept piling up, and there was never a clear point where enough was actually enough. Small tasks turned into full reviews, simple decisions needed approval, and the amount of control over basic work was just CRAZY. Some managers had this freak need to be involved in everything, which made it hard to trust your own judgment or work independently. Feedback rarely helped, and a lot of conversations left people feeling smaller instead of better. Growth was hard to find, support was limited, and blame moved around faster than solutions. I watched talented people lose confidence, get burned out, and quietly leave one by one.
