Best agency to work for in Omaha.
|
|
Phenomblue is on the forefront of what agencies are today and will become. The team here excels at understanding its clients' businesses, which help it execute creative tactics that actually create results. The work itself is some of the best I've seen. Having worked in digital agencies for the last 8 years, I'm always impressed by the caliber of work our practice groups put forth.
Phenom also offers a flexible work schedule, which is a welcome benefit to many of us in the industry who are getting older and starting families.
The office itself is a great place to work if you don't mind open-office environments.
|
Phenom is a fast-moving company that changes the rules often. If you're uncomfortable with a fluid work environment, this might not be the place for you.
Phenom requires all of its team members to be able to think strategically, which might be a change for people in traditional creative roles. If you're uncomfortable or unfamiliar with leading strategy, you may struggle here (but will never be on an island with that struggle!).
Communication could be improved. While we have great co-working tools, when there are shifts in company vision, staff roles or the org chart itself, it would be nice if changes were addressed in person to help support the team, address questions and preserve the culture that people have historically enjoyed.
Lastly, benefits could be greatly improved and are below par compared to some of the bigger shops in town. This might not be an issue if you can save for retirement separately and participate in a partner's heath insurance.

Awesome experience while it lasted
|
|
First off, the company has a stellar reputation. Check out the leadership and their reviews by real people on LinkedIn as opposed to the "anonymous" past employees on this site. I was hired and worked directly for the CEO out the LA office. Starting a satellite office is tough and unfortunately there were some that were not up to the task of growth set out by the company (including myself) and we were let go when the company downsized LA. Company spared no expense to try and make the LA office successful. Brand is awesome and they have a great rep in the industry for being a down to earth transparent company with a track record of success. Flat org structure that encouraged the best idea won sort of mentality. Really lived their values and you felt it with each engagement. One of those places you know is better than most, but you're always trying to pick apart to make better. Good clear vision from mgmt. I really enjoyed my time at Phenomblue and working there and the experiences I had created tons of opportunities for me since.
|
The office in LA was small and start-up feeling which made for a different feel from Omaha (headquarters) that made process between the offices tough sometimes. Company took too long to put management from Omaha onsite which meant that there were a few hires that were not A players that managed to sneak in and hang around. I guess the biggest con was the downsizing, though we all were compensated generously when we left.

Great Place to Be
|
|
Great place! Great people! The collaborative environment fosters an amazing culture. Everyone works hard and plays hard as a team. A place with no egos where everyone does what it is necessary to provide quality work that exceeds client expectations.
|
Flexible hours can some times be a challenge since there is no 8 to 5 at your desk requirement.

Dream Job with a Dream Company
|
|
Phenomblue is constantly evolving and setting the bar higher. A true leader in the unknown landscape of all things digital. Not afraid to try new things and admit to mistakes. The freedom and acceptance of all ideas is welcome and encouraged. It's ok to wear jeans - always a plus.
|
You have to be willing to adapt to change and lead the way. Not necessarily a con, but if you like a rut and a cube, this is not the company to work for.

Challenging & Rewarding
|
|
The best thing is the people I work with are my friends. We trust each other, support each other through long days and everyone here has a positive attitude.
The work is very challenging and yet rewarding because we are impacting how companies operate their business. We are consultants to our clients, first and foremost.
There is always an opportunity to express your opinion freely and have honest discussions with co-workers.
We have a fun environment that allows for collaboration and creativity.
We recently gained a lot of momentum working with major brands in Silicon Valley to Fortune 500 companies. Again, it is not your typical "advertising" work, but rather we are affecting process and change at these organizations.
|
Lots of work happening, which means we all have to pitch and do things outside of our comfort zone to get the job done.

Great work, work-life balance, and a fantastic environment
|
|
The co-workers are amazing, the work is compelling, and the benefits are competitive. It's a brand new office with an energetic and open environment, flexible hours, and an open vacation policy.
|
There were missteps in company direction with a subsequent lull in prospects, and a variety of drastic fixes - which put the company back on track. The recovery period has been rough, but ultimately it has been handled gracefully with utmost respect and accommodation paid to employees.

Keep focusing on the environment! The thing that interested me in Phenomblue initially is how much the environment promotes innovation - you need to always be trying new things, learning new things, pushing the boundaries. This is what makes Phenomblue special, don't lose sight of it.

Crazy opportunities for personal and professional growth
|
|
I've been hear for a long time and have moved steadily up the company. I've gotten more experience, responsibility and pay here than my contemporaries at other agencies.
|
Things change fast. If you're cool with that then you'll do well. Lots of things happening all of the time.

Trusted to do my job
|
|
Senior management trusts employees all around - never micromanaging, but providing guidance when necessary and inspiring employees to have confidence in themselves and within their area of expertise. Encouraged to act, trust gut, etc. which is important within a fast-paced agency environment. Benefits like core hours and no time off policy further instill this agency tenet. Also, co-workers are the best you'll ever find! Makes it the best work/life balance I've ever seen.
|
It's an adaptive agency - evolving and changing as the industry and environment changes. Must be able to keep up, change direction quickly and act swiftly when necessary.
