#MeToo - werkgeversreview Copywriter bij Axis41

I worked at Axis41 for nearly 5 years and in that time I had several opportunities to grow my professional development and skillsets. The company and its management rewards go-getters who see problems and take initiative to fix them. If you thrive in fast-paced workspaces with knowledgeable team members and appreciate being trusted to get the job done, this is the place for you. It has the culture and vibe of a startup with the benefits, high-profile clients, and stability of a larger company. This means opportunity abounds for developing your professional career, making a difference in the organization, engaging with people smarter than you, and honing your skillsets. Additional Pros: Axis41 pays for downtown parking OR a for public transportation pass. Free food (Bagels or Donuts) on Friday mornings. Good work-life balance and flexible hours as long as you do it within reason. Great visibility with higher-ups (partners/founders, VPs, management) at Salt Lake Office. The leadership and management of the strategy, creative, and account services teams are exceptional. Beautiful interior design- great open floor plan that encourages communication and productivity.

Expect to dress warmly every day (summer too). The only days that I didn't use my space heater was when the AC broke (only two times in 5 years). In some cases, management isn't given the authority or tools to lead as well as they could. Better training and accountability for managers could improve.

• The people--this above all else, gosh I love those guys • The generally relaxed work culture and environment, fun Slack comms, flexible work schedule, and foosball table • Plenty of free beverages and regular treats (bagels, doughnuts, cake day, etc.) • LAN parties • Spontaneous Nerf wars • Big name clients will add some clout to your resume • New emphasis on promotions, growth, and upward mobility • Great downtown parking • Pretty decent benefits (401k, Healthcare)

• The Merkle acquisition--this above all else, it feels fumbled • Lost some key culture contributors • Gone are the days of being renowned for awesome parties • Some tough, underscoped projects that hurt morale • Agency life can move fast and be difficult on work-life balance • Competitive compensation only when compelled • Some misfire hires and baggage employees
