Great work-life balance but limited promotion opportunities - werkgeversreview Senior Associate bij DEPT

Lots of individuals that make up many teams from design, copy, motion, production artists, and even full-time strategists.

I left right before a big merge, so I can't speak to how it is after the merge. This review may be outdated.

The design team is very talented and kind.

Very boring agency to work at. They only claim the agency is not doing good, "we don't have money" so no raises, 1.2% merit increases this year. This doesn't even keep up with inflation rate. At this company you will just be a number on a spreadsheet, waiting to get laid off because they would rather use a million different AI than hire any entry level positions. They fail almost every pitch because the leadership is empty-headed, comes in and changes the entire concepts and decks. And they claim they are very transparent and B-corp but they discriminate against POC all the time and lie about your prospects at their company. It's really not worth your nerves to work for them.
