Pros

- team members are nice - decent compensation for US employees

Kontras

- constantly changing the business model. This means what is expected of you and the manner in which you do those things will likely change a number of times. Sometimes there will be a change that's discussed and never actually comes to fruition before another pivot takes place. This effects both higher strategy and individual team expectations. - very little diversity (team of 30+ members and no POCs) - openly hires overseas talent to control employment costs - an absolutely insane amount of meetings (both internal and client facing). Somewhere around 60/40 split of meetings and actual work time. - a lot of internal bureaucracy and fluff (a lot of creating and checking off tasks in project management tools, vanity deliverables to clients just to "CYA", and a very strong preference to do things for internal compliance rather than client success). Clients are also expected to be active in all project management tools and nearly all of them complain about it. - a lot of politicking involved if you want career advancement. Client success or satisfaction is secondary to internal politics.

Pros

Truly a great group of people. The people working in the accounts are so smart, and so strategic, and a pleasure to work with. There's a very flexible work/life balance, there isn't really an "approval" process for PTO as long as you get your stuff done and communicate when you may be OOO. You can really own your accounts and have a lot of freedom in your strategies if you have time. The health plan is really incredible, and 100% covered.

Kontras

Seemed like people were getting too much on their plate in the last year or so. I haven't been at an agency (or even interviewed for one) that has had so many clients assigned to one person before. It's difficult to juggle, and there was little time for deep work. I would have rated Newfangled with 5 stars if I didn't have such a negative experience around maternity leave. In some states, there are minimum weeks leave that Newfangled is required to adhere to, and it took more than one meeting for me to get some of those weeks. In the end, I still didn't feel totally empowered to take my full leave that CA protects. During an already difficult time, I was needing to spend time learning about the laws, speaking with employment lawyers, and stressing about the situation.
