Pluspunten

Management seemed to truly want me to succeed, and gave me a lot of opportunities to grow and learn through different client projects. I've had a lot of really toxic bosses in my career, but I did always feel that my supervisors at every level would at least by sympathetic to any issues I brought up, and were usually very responsive.

Minpunten

Some of the teams had deeply weird dynamics. For example, one team lead seemed to have a personal vendetta against me for reasons I did not understand and the way that vendetta was expressed was so passive-aggressive I wasn't sure how to complain or address it. Sometimes addressing problems with management required so much diplomacy and careful selection of words that I felt like I was in a Jane Austen novel, Business-ese Edition. Also, limited mobility for creative team. I felt like my work environment and workload were good, but there was no sense of where I would go from that position with more education or experience.

Pluspunten

Method Communications fosters an environment where employees can drop the corporate facade and be their authentic selves, which made it easy to build strong relationships with coworkers. The work culture is generally kind and supportive. PTO and paid holidays are generous, which helped with work-life balance to a degree.

Minpunten

There is a toxic, politically driven atmosphere within the leadership team. This undermines morale and often leads to confusion about company priorities. I experienced multiple rounds of permanent headcount reductions in my department, resulting in an overwhelming increase in workload without adequate compensation adjustments or recognition. As a result, my performance suffered due to burnout and a lack of support. While the coaches at Method are talented individual contributors, they possess little to no actual management or coaching experience. The absence of a leadership training program meant that many employees struggled with navigating the demands of their roles, which quickly turns into a mental health risk for teams. Despite being a growing company, there was no ERP system in place to support the $5M/year business. Technology constraints, sometimes stemming from directives from the holding company, hindered overall operational efficiency. A more proactive approach in advocating for the right tools would have benefited the company in the long run.
