You are expected to clock exactly 8 hours a day and if you don't, you'll receive a passive-aggressive email from management. While it's not stated outright, you are expected to work after hours more often than is necessary. I really valued my time at Matchbook and would recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller agency, both to work for and to partner with as a client.Įchoing what another review stated, management pushes for a work-first attitude that will burn you out fast.

There is a lot of room for professional growth there and the beauty of working on a small team is that you can influence change and explore various interests. Matchbook offers a hybrid work schedule, which is amazing and appreciated. Some of the most talented individuals I've ever had the pleasure of working with are on the Matchbook team! Everyone is very nice and friendly. They also care about employees personally and are very generous and understanding with personal/family matters. They truly care about their employees and want to see team members learn and grow in their careers.

In that time, the agency experienced a lot of change and growth, all of which was good and benefitted the agency and employees in the long run.
