Anyone else from iCrossing on here? Thoughts on this as a platform to provide honest feedback about the agency?

I think the new “companies” tab will eventually make Fishbowl the new Glassdoor.

Fishbowl is also doing a good job of getting senior leaders on here, by asking them to do AMAs.

I can speak on behalf NYC as well, and a strong cohort of my colleagues are on here almost daily and trust FB more than internal surveys. It's just a matter of trust and comfort for us I think. Coming to FB feels like posting your thoughts on a private Twitter, and there's less fear of repercussion.

Glassdoor seems petty and mean spirited — FB feels more productive

It only works if your senior leadership is also on here. Otherwise, you’re just complaining into the void.

I'm on the operations side, and we regularly use this application to surface and curate opinion about the firm. Like Strategy Director 1, we've found that the Company Profiles could be a good starting point to showcase more about culture and work life. We're also rolling out guidelines and standards to get more of our leadership on the app.

So how is NY feeling?

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
