An Exciting, Fun and Challenging Place to Work
|
|
Great people
Amazing clients
Highly creative environment
Plenty of fun activities
Bar in the office
Plenty of opportunities for self-starters to grow
Lots of travel depending on your role
Hard work is recognized and compensated
|
Work hard/play hard environment isn't for everyone
Depending on your family situation the travel could be demanding for some people in production roles
Sometimes needing to work weekends/nights - though normally that is a lot of fun anyway

Creative Thought Leadership
|
|
Take a look at Mirrorball's case studies and you'll know they are the best in the biz. I joined the agency right as it - and their clients/rest of the world - was shifting their approach to experiential as well as tightening their marketing budget.
While team members dropped - due to various circumstances - Michael's creative genius never wavered and his vision for the future of the agency was always strong. With many ups and downs, I'm pleased to have been a part of this company, proud of the projects I was able to lead, and forever grateful for the creative thought leader that Michael was (is) despite many outside opinions on the company's management style.
Excited to see where the new team will take the Mirrorball name!
|
There were a few at the time of my employment but all the bad eggs have been picked out and (it appears) that the new wave of Mirrorball is here!

Mirrorball taught me everything
|
|
Mirrorball is and has been a great work experience for me. It used to be much more of social scene but now the agency is solely focused on the work. Blatter is a tough boss who only accepts the highest level of creativity and originality. He has a crazy ability to remember and reference past work. Mirrorball has morphed and changed over the years with partners separating and people coming and going but the current iteration of which I still do freelance work for is still “best in class” from the perspective of creativity and execution. In my ten years as a designer, my 5 years at Mirrorball has been an inspiring place to grow and learn and work on the most outrageous projects in the business. If you want to work really hard, be challenged and learn from the most experienced team then Mirrorball is a great place.

Good Talent once worked there
|
I left mirrorball a few months ago, it took a while to digest just how toxic the environment was. Instead of fostering and nurturing talent, the CEO bred a very contentious work place driven by ego and mean spiritedness. He spoke negatively about everyone that worked for him. He inserted himself in every aspect of a project, derailing and ruining relationships with vendors and clients. He inserts his “25 years of industry knowledge” to “prove” he understands what he’s doing, but ends up spending 10x more the amount bc he’s clueless, then blames everyone around him for his careless spending. What once use to be a successful and impressive 80 person agency is down to a pathetic grouping of 3-4 staffers. The CEO has single handedly dismantled his own agency, alienating many great talent that once use to walk through the doors when the agency was run by real leaders. Any recent positive reviews you see here, are not legitimate, he has paid a girl to write positive reviews and has badgered Glassdoor to remove negative ones. This man is a total hack and has one of the worst reputations in the industry. Do not work or do business with this man.

It's Not What You Know; It's Who You Know
|
|
Working at Mirrorball offered me the opportunity to better understand the creative, hands-on approach which in hindsight groomed and prepared me for my years of branding and marketing success at major companies like American Express, MasterCard, Pepsi & Microsoft.
The work was both hard and fun. Looking back, I owe a lot of gratitude to Mirrorball; Michael Blatter (the Founder & CEO); and the folks that have made Mirrorball what it is today.
In hindsight, working at Mirrorball was a great career experience and my knowledge and contacts have gone on to support me to this day.

They used to have a nice office with a roof deck..... but its gone now.

Mirrorball has gone downhill fast. The creative director/ visionary left a couple of years ago and he was the main reason clients and employees worked with the company. The CEO treats his employees like they are disposable he discriminates based on gender and looks and he generally lacks respect for other people. Everything was always a rush with no budget because the money is so poorly managed, there is absolutely no work life balance - they were always understaffed so they work you into the ground and then dispose of you. They used to have some very talented employees but most of them quit or were laid off and now they have about four employees left. There is no longer any vision, culture or direction at Mirrorball, it seems like they are always scrambling for business. For more current info google the owner and read the NY post article about him.

Homegrown talent
|
|
This place was a hive of talent, i can't say i have enjoyed a better cast to work with elsewhere. I learned much from my few years there through excellent mentors, bringing my portfolio and work-ethic to a higher degree, something i doubt i would have had the opportunity to build elsewhere.
New York demands much of your time, as does this company, but the bonds and trust created between my colleagues on the mountains of projects we were tested on allows a lifetime of connectivity, collaboration and friendship. I can say i walk into any business more confident because of it.
|
Constant hirings and firings on questionable positions seemed to hurt the company and its brand, this unfortunately came at a time when most of the mega work came to a halt. Benefits and full time for several "permalancers" would have been nice considering the amount of turn-overs and wasted money that went into full time trainwrecks.

Your business has changed, along with the landscape of what Brands want out of a experiential company, for the sake of survival, the move to be smaller is better. That being said, make sure those put in charge of the small ship actually know how to be captain.

Incredibly toxic culture and lack of professionalism from leadership that affects everyone. Lots of junior people with no guidance or support.
