Pros

Mostly remote. Health insurance coverage changed a few times, but mostly the plans were inexpensive and very good. I got to work with many cool clients and I enjoyed the work that I did. Company culture was good before the company was acquired. Great coworkers and team members

Cons

After they were acquired by another company, things never really settled down. Change is expected for a while, but it never ended. Constantly hiring new positions that will "turn the company around" but we did not see positive results month to month or year to year. Management was constantly expressing concern about losing clients, and upcoming layoffs which really had a bad influence on morale. There was a pay raise freeze for nearly 2 years while I was there. During the hiring process they had explained that employees were periodically eligible to apply for raises and promotions but I was blocked from even applying several times. I was there nearly 3 years and never had a performance review There were several performance review initiatives and systems that were implemented and then immediately stopped - after all employees had put in hundreds of hours of training and onboarding on them. When I was laid off due to my position being eliminated, I knew that my team had been interviewing candidates to join our team in the same role as I was in, so it was not really being eliminated

Pros

None. Poor leadership, unrealistic expectations and a culture that prioritizes short-term revenue over both employees and clients

Cons

This is a textbook example of an agency where leadership is disconnected from the day-to-day reality of client work. Senior executives are heavily involved during the pitch process to win new business but once the contract is signed, delivery teams are left to manage accounts that were often under-scoped and aggressively priced to secure the win. Teams are then expected to account for every minute of their time in order to maintain profitability (time is precisely tracked on Salesforce) that were never realistically staffed or budgeted in the first place. The result is constant pressure, burnout and a focus on utilization metrics rather than delivering great work. Employee morale suffers from a culture that often feels driven by politics and favoritism rather than merit. Leadership messaging is heavily disconnected from the challenges teams face, creating a lack of trust throughout the organization. Client turnover has been significant and it's difficult to understand how some accounts have remained given the recurring operational issues. Overall, a frustrating environment marked by poor leadership, questionable decision-making and a toxic culture.
