Ok place to work. Salary is not competitive

Pros

The people are great and everyone who works there is very talented. It is a great place to start your career as you learn a lot, but you don't get raises so once you learn and have a portfolio you can find more money somewhere else. Flex hours are great and you can work from home once in a while. The client list is very impressive and the company is growing quickly.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. High turn over because of salary. Employees are not rewarded for good work. Management thinks the monthly lunches are a reward for the employees, but while nice a pizza is not enough to keep people happy. The company is not competitive (salary wise). People here are over worked and underpaid. Teams don't get the resources they need. Management expects employees to be on call after work hours. The company needs major renovations and is dirty. Don't get the support from management.

Pros

Good Culture, in office and events. Great Clients

Cons

Work Expectations: You're expected to work for 7.5 hours a day with minimal downtime. Some team members are supportive and create a sense of belonging, but others negatively impact the company culture. Projects and accounts: Projects are often underestimated and under-budgeted, and they lack active leadership. Account Managers (AMs) and Project Managers (PMs) are the backbone of the company. Compensation and Reviews: Salaries are below average, and performance reviews are delayed with only mediocre raises. Personnel Churn: There's a high turnover rate across various positions, from PMs and AMs to creative professionals, developers, and even leadership team members. Job Security: Job security is uncertain, with a lackluster outlook. A large portion of employees lasting 6-12 months. Leadership: Some leaders, like the CEO, DM Lead, and Head of Health, are knowledgeable, but others are unprofessional or unethical. Processes: The company's processes frequently change, causing confusion and making it difficult to determine the "right" way to do things. Short-Sighted Leadership: Leadership is short-sighted, cuts corners, and the company is characterized by chaos and disorganization, negatively impacting the business outlook. Client Work: You enjoy working with clients from various industries and find the work interesting and challenging. Office and Company Events: The office and company events are enjoyable and fun. In summary, my experience at this company is a mix of positives, such as interesting client work and enjoyable office events, and several negatives, including issues with projects, compensation, job security, and company culture. Any person joining should weigh these factors and consider whether the positive aspects outweigh the negatives.

Thank you for your comprehensive review of your experience working at Elite Digital over the past 3-4 years. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continuously strive to improve and address concerns raised. We appreciate your positive remarks about the good office culture and enjoyable company events. Creating a positive and inclusive work environment remains a top priority for us. We take concerns about team members negatively impacting company culture seriously and encourage you to bring specific instances to our attention for appropriate action. Regarding work expectations and minimal downtime, we understand the importance of work-life balance which is why we have maintained a mostly remote work environment for our employees convenience and have flexible work hours allowing you to customize how to best fit the standard work day of 7.5 hours into your life in a balanced way. In light of the challenges faced by many organizations this year in response to preparing for a recession we recognize that the staffing changes that we were inclined to make may have created a sense of discomfort within the organization. That is why as we moved towards those changes we did our very best to communicate the rational to ensure our employees understood the reasons for the restructuring or elimination of positions. We want to emphasize that we purposefully decided not to place a freeze on compensation increases as many companies have done this past year in an effort to demonstrate our value and respect for our employees. All performance appraisals and compensation discussions at Elite Digital are done by reviewing the market and conducted with a strong focus on fairness and equity. We understand the frustration caused by changing processes and are committed to providing clear guidelines and effective communication to minimize ambiguity. We have made significant progress in providing resources like training courses, templates, and Google Drive folders to help provide direction and clarify workflow. Your positive feedback about client work and enjoyable events is appreciated. We aim to provide engaging and fulfilling projects. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and dedication. If you have further suggestions or concerns, please reach out to us directly as we are committed to building a better future together.
