Big clients, valued employees - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij IQ Agency

Solid, down to earth and genuine (and really funny) people. I pretty much laughed hard every day I was at work. Everyone really pours their self into their projects and it shows. The talent pool here is great and the leadership has shown a commitment to bringing on more talent as the company grows. Also, just great, young leadership that will dig in right next to you to get things done. It was great to work with people that you knew had your back. The team is the perfect size - small enough that you learn about other disciplines by being on the same projects with strategists/videographers/analysts, but big enough that you don't get pulled off your work to put out fires, which happens at smaller places that are all hands on deck. The business model is strong, with taking mid-size clients as AORs, the employees are safe from layoffs, unlike most other agencies. Having strategy and design strong in the same company means that projects don't get thrown "over a wall" to other companies for completion - the full lifecycle is in house, so it's consistent and absolutely makes a better project in the end.

Not many that haven't been stated already. The focus of the company is mid-sized companies, so there aren't a lot of BIG brand names on the roster.

- Insurance premiums covered in full for employees - Summer Fridays - Snacks in the kitchen. (The kitchen is a little better stocked some weeks than others.) - Work/life balance (depending on role/department) - Supportive environment. I always feel like I can be transparent in my opinions to management and be heard and taken into consideration - The owner has become much easier to work with than before. I think management has just learned how to communicate with him really well so he's not running all over the place trying to figure out what's going on, and I wouldn't consider him a big drawback to working here. - There's clearly a lot of effort being put into making IQ a more fun place to work. - After a rough period where a lot of key people either left or were fired, there's been a boost in morale for the most part and things are good. As a previous reviewer said, there's a lot of momentum and I believe IQ is still a much better place to work than most agencies in Atlanta. It's on an upward swing.

- Location. Also, this might be a pro for some people, but it's not too far from the new Braves stadium. - Some key roles from that rough period have yet to be filled (although they are recruiting actively) - On the flip side of the pro, work life balance (depending on role/department). Some people are really overworked and the decision to bring in more people to lighten the load is made very slowly.
