      Pros

      AKQA has great work culture and it does care about its employees.

      Cons

      AKQA is part of WPP. Now WPP is trying to control AKQA more. As a result, the founder of AKQA left the company and started a new one. Many senior level employees followed the founder and they took clients away as well.

      Pros

      Design and Strategy teams on the west coast in 2021-2023 incredibly smart and strong in their craft. Overall it is hard not to be impressed with the output and some of what the brand can produce

      Cons

      NY and DC teams were unpleasant. Competitive fearful vibe compared to other creative and tech industries I have been in. My guess is because everything is based on what accounts and projects they can capture and during this time tech accounts were pulling out of further business as their markets slowed. WPP (the parent company) began lay offs and shuttered whole agencies exasperating this.
