Pay is fair but not for the amount of overtime hrs. Good culture and management.
|
Work life balance declined. Not enough time for new people to onboard

Overall, Traction has a number of solid people with mad skills. The location is awesome. The team always strives hard to do their best work.
|
Management is top heavy. There are too many decision makers. A clearer direction and more transparency regarding company decisions would be helpful.

Everyone is a grown-up professional. Creative projects are challenging and fun. Creatives and Devs have a lot of opportunities for career growth. Management is very flexible and family-oriented.
|
Management are experts in their respective disciplines (Tech, Creative, Digital) but lack a clear vision of company goals.

Get on the same page regarding company policy and goals, and then clearly communicate those goals and a plan for achieving those goals. Keep treating people like human beings.

Best journey of my career thus far
|
|
Everything I had heard about the agency being a "hot shop" was absolutely true. I worked on some of the coolest projects of my career. The cherry on top was that I worked with some of the most talented people I have ever met. The culture is what you would expect at such a creative shop—relaxed and friendly, but ready to get the job done. The bar was always set high.
|
With many independent shops, I saw a lot of growing pains. Over the years, I saw it transform some for the better but often times revert back to old behaviors and legacy processes that just don't work. And consequently, the work suffered as well as team morale. Part of this stems from a reluctancy to change and evolve.
Another issue I saw was that there was little to no formal training or on-boarding to new hires consistent across departments.

Like dating the coolest girl all throughout high school but then breaking up because one of you had to move to Nebraska.
|
|
Great people in every department. There's an energy within the organization that captivated clients and pushed teams to deliver their best work. The benefits were also competitive for a small agency. Their contributions to my 401k allowed me to put aside considerably more for retirement than I had planned. Overall, great people and great opportunities for developers and creatives alike.
|
A lack in delegation from upper-management to team leaders caused bottlenecks for simple tasks like approving purchase orders and things of that nature. Use of third-party tools was overly scrutinized and requests often denied due to client discretion. Normal growing pains for an agency that grew 2x in size from when I started.

Traction was the best job I ever had.
|
|
Great creative shop with excelent clients in a warm familial culture. Traction hires carefully and then grows their talent. The managerial team is always open to suggestions. The office is absolutely stunning and the culture is fun and exciting but not too stressful. They work hard of course when crunching deadlines but when things get slow as they sometimes do they are cool with employees having flexible schedules. Add to this the fact that they have a dual kegotator in the kitchen with regular beer deliveries and I must say it's a great place to work. They are a shop that does great work and treats their employees well.

because we are small the benefits aren't that great.
