Unfortunate Decline - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei SocialCode: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Fun work culture! Free snacks every day and catered lunch on Wednesday! Opportunity to work with top companies around the country!!

Sometimes hours can be a bit long during the holiday season but ample time off is given in January to account for it

-You will learn an incredible amount in a short amount of time. -Co-workers are generally smart, collaborative, and easy to interact with.

SocialCode was once a good place to work. Sure, the pay wasn't that great, the benefits were solid but not spectacular, and the work/life balance was sub-par. This was offset by the awesome co-workers, the tight-knit culture, and the opportunity to grow your career in a relatively short amount of time. The company had a sense of direction, there were some good members of leadership, and while very few people saw SocialCode as a company to work for long-term, people were reasonably content. Over the past year and a half or so the experience of working at SocialCode went into steady decline. The pay became even more subpar, the work/life balance deteriorated even more sharply, the quality of the benefits declined somewhat, the good members of leadership left, and the company repeatedly changed direction. The constant trickle of turnover that is always present at an agency transformed into a stream. Over the past 6 months or so the company has entered a full-blown tailspin. The company's strategy has lost all focus and direction. Internal declarations and initiatives have become a farce. The stream of turnover has become a flood. All the best people at all levels of the company have either left or are seeking other opportunities. Graham Holdings is tightening the funding stream, perhaps unwilling to continue subsidizing an unprofitable firm. My advice for those who still work there - time to make other arrangements, if you aren't already. My advise for those considering applying - I don't recommend it. You're 3 years too late.
