Does anyone have experience working at Real Chemistry? How is the culture? Even with title bump and larger salary- Is this worth pursuing or should I stick to larger holding companies?

Currently here. Like other agencies, depends on the team and accounts you're on. Really feels like a never ending cycle of shuffle of moving you from account to account to meet allocations and billability and will overallocate and just go, "oh well, figure it out." The pay is definitely higher than other agencies, but they get their money's worth out of you. I love the majority of the people I work with, but alas it is agency and it is what you make of it.

Run. Runnnn. They put a “Compensation Strategy Update” on our calendars for tomorrow, very likely to cut salaries.

The agency itself is a MESS. Focus is on adding clients, no care for doing a good job. I hear “quantity over quality” thrown around by teammates a lot and it’s accurate.

Yes coming back to say they’re ending bonuses and folding half into our salary for this year, with the other half potentially paid out next March (then no more bonuses). Not exactly the *opposite* but not a cut.

It’s basically like a large holding company, except not publicly traded. They won multiple agency of the year recognitions recently. Like everywhere it depends what team you’re on.

I’ve worked at multiple agencies that have won “agency of the year” and in my experience it is a largely meaningless award (like most of them).

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
