Our creative team is insanely talented, but approvals are a mess with brand, legal, DEI, product, execs. By the time something ships, it’s like a Frankenstein of compromise. Is this just the cost of operating in-house at scale, or have any of you found a better system?

LOL yes it's the cost. Because you are "inside" every other department thinks they can impact everything. Why let any single group get the glory and make good work? Agencies charge money if too many changes are made - your group is a blank check for changes until the end of time. (ask me how I know because I feel your pain myself)

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
