Pros

- People there are very intelligent, and often friendly - The clients are high profile - The work is definitely interesting - The office layout is attractive, and has an open floor plan - Higher positions have more flexibility with hours in and out of office - Casual work environment/dress - Ability to reach out to higher ups (CEO / VP / etc.) at any position

Cons

- Teams don't have time to train you (or simply don't want to), so expect to train yourself - Not a team environment in general - Work-life balance is horrendous (expect to work 12+ hour work days at least once or twice a month) - Takes too long to get key changes into place (managerial and administration changes are slow/not efficient) - Career growth related solely to team growth, not your personal abilities, and is very slow - As of 2013, company is experiencing high turnover rate of their most knowledgeable and often hardest-working employees, so lower level employees are delegated more day-to-day work rather than it being evenly spread out throughout the team

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
