Pluspunten
* The ability to work remotely, even in the before times, is nice. * The company, or at least the EVP, is understanding that there are bigger things than work (family, health, etc.) and tries to work with employees who need to take care of personal matters.
Minpunten
I worked at Madison for over 6 years and in that time, nothing changed. The culture is toxic from the top, including the least secret workplace marriage in the history of secret workplace marriages. That alone has caused certain individuals to have too much power, and get away with too much. Madison has gone from agile to being exceptionally process-oriented, and not for a good reason. I was in the room and it was explained clearly to us that the external "messaging" for our new processes was to improve morale and efficiency; the actual reason, however, was to determine who was messing up, and to be able to call them out and shame them for their mistakes. There is no culture of lifting each other up, it's all about shaming people for any mistake, and hoping that eventually, they'll leave. Those who put clients first and do whatever it takes to get the work done and keep the client happy are belittled and yelled at in team meetings. Don't believe the hype on the positive reviews, especially those that are comically low on details and seem to come in batches at the same time. Employees are asked to leave positive reviews because Madison can't bring in good talent based on the actual reviews.
