Reviews van Merkle

Pluspunten

Great work life balance here

Minpunten

Can be very corporate at times

Pluspunten

Progressive and supportive with a great culture

Minpunten

Still getting used to newly acquired businesses working together.

Pluspunten

Great flexibility in working remotely and hours. A lot of training services offered as well! Teaches you a lot about hard work and owning what you're doing.

Minpunten

Hard to advance in your career - from what I saw, promotions were few and far to come by. Columbia office is a ghost town, so if you're looking for community or environment, working in the office wont really give you that.

Pluspunten

Started at my company (DWA Media) when it was independently owned, then acquired by Merkle at end of 2017. Local office in Singapore was well-run, efficient and growing.

Minpunten

Although the DWA Singapore office was well-run, and devoid of politics and pettiness, I cannot say the same about the other offices. The incoming Merkle management in the Singapore office seemed experienced and pleasant, and I hope that will sound positive changes in the organization.

Merkle--please investigate some of the concerns mentioned in the other offices worldwide in the other Glass Door reviews or on the internet.

Pluspunten

San Francisco office is in a great location with a nice view of the Bay.

Minpunten

Office politics hinder growth, development, and employee satisfaction. Hours are unmanageable, and don't allow for any work-life balance. Expect to work until 1AM, only to wake up for an 8AM meeting the next day. Managers don't have employee's best interests at heart. Office culture went from non-existent to toxic, with optics forcing employees to stay in the office until certain hours just so teams look like work is...

Demonstrate that you care about your employees and turnover won't be so insurmountable. In a competitive hiring market like San Francisco, take the efforts to show employees that you care about them as people, not just cogs in a machine to reach quotas.

Pluspunten

You will work with fun, smart, dedicated people, who believe in the company, and enjoy the work they do

Minpunten

Lots of change, since the company is in the process of being bought out. Limited promotion opportunities, since the company believes in a pyramid structure.

Pluspunten

Great work-life balance offered depending on dept.

Minpunten

Agency model may not be for everyone

Pluspunten

Merkle has nice atmosphere and lots of free training course.

Minpunten

I think it's hard for people to get promote. So lots of them work in Merkle for 2 years and jumped to other companies to get a promotion.

Promote own staff more rather than hire people from outside
