Pluspunten

Most people here are great and they are opportunities to work with a lot of people.

Minpunten

Four layoffs and in a year time span definitely raises some eyebrows, especially at the expense of client relationships as internal teams are constantly changing. There have even been cases of those who have been laid off returning as leadership realized they “made a mistake” or rehiring individuals who were laid off months prior due to sheer desperation. Promotions for those in leadership’s pockets come at a faster rate, often with higher salaries. These are apparent and questionable as a few select team leads take vacations with their junior staff, though HR says nothing. Team leads also encourage friendships so aggressively that the line of professionalism is blurred, especially for junior staff. Leadership also made their poor planning our issue. Time and time again they were told organic growth numbers were too high but their own arrogance got in the way. Guess who was right? The people who actually engage with client on a daily basis and have their trust. Odd those whistleblowers were also some of the first to be laid off… Unless you are prepared to brown nose until the day you leave, you won’t get far.

Pluspunten

While I worked there, Spectrum was a great place to work. We were fully remote, which was awesome, and still kept up with team bonding. I had decent benefits, an okay salary, and a great place to work. Most of the pros had to do with my specific team, though.

Minpunten

Cons: they had at least 2 rounds of layoffs which were super unprofessional in my opinion. Scheduled innocuous meeting with no intro, laid off, and once the meeting was over immediately locked out of our computers, which was a shame as we were fully remote and there was no way to say goodbye to our teammates. (Or, as a creative, to access our files in order to update our newly needed portfolio.) They laid off in-house creative after bringing on a "network" of freelancers, which is insane for an agency. Continually undercutting creatives is how we race to the bottom, which you'd think a CREATIVE agency would care about...
