Pluspunten

Some great relationships made here. There are some great teams as well. It’s a very hands-on environment, with opportunities to be involved across different areas of the business. You gain a wide range of experience quickly.

Minpunten

The culture at this company is deeply challenging and, at times, discouraging. Favoritism is prevalent, which creates an uneven and often unfair work environment. Regardless of your level, employees are frequently treated as though they are at the bottom of the hierarchy, with little respect or support. There are clear instances where certain individuals are held to different standards, despite low output and behavior that negatively impacts others, which management continues to overlook. Senior management is aware of the environment, at least some of them, yet little action is taken to address it. As a result, both employee and client turnover remain high, which speaks to broader systemic problems within the organization. This is a difficult place to grow or feel valued.

Pluspunten

If you thrive on freedom and independence (i.e. little micro management), this is a place for you. I've found in working here for a number of years that we have the freedom to excel, grow into new roles, and advance careers - but it's all a choice! There's also a nice balance between working hard and work/life balance, which I value tremendously.

Minpunten

Mostly NYC based as an agency, very few office locations outside of NY.

Pluspunten

5W is a high-energy, fast-moving place where you’re exposed to a wide range of clients, industries, and media opportunities. It becomes really helpful to be more of a generalist and understand businesses across multiple verticals. If you’re someone who likes to stay busy and be challenged, there’s never a shortage of work or responsibility - in a good way. You get hands-on experience quickly and are trusted to own things early on which allows you to actually level up and learn quicker then you would elsewhere. You have a team of smart, driven and hardworking people regardless of the team you're on which allows you to just soak it all in and learn a lot! You also have a fun culture from junior to most senior staff - everyone gets along and there's no "higher then though" egos which is a perk.

Minpunten

The pace can be intense, and maintaining work-life balance can be tough but this seems to be consistent with the industry as a whole. Communication across teams can be reactive instead of proactive at times which can be annoying but I've seen this at most agencies.
