Pros
- A few strategy rockstars - Some cool clients - Decent pay
Cons
- Mek rewards people that talk (yell) the loudest and find problems. No one approaches challenges with a solution-minded mindset or is willing to compromise on alternative solutions; instead they point fingers/ play the blame game. - Creative suffers because the loudest in the room make decisions, often based on ego vs. strategically. Creative leads often are so combative other teams have no opportunity to provide constructive feedback. - HR is not objective + worsens issues vs. helping the general team. They know of leadership issues and yet do nothing to fix/address bullying behavior from C-suite and top levels. - There is no room for growth or improvement - if you do something that is interpreted as a mistake, your job may be on the line. - Leadership consistently promotes themselves, while saying there is no budget for lower level staff to move up. - Similar environment to high school with popular kids + bad talking behind backs. If you don't get into the "in crowd", lose all hope of getting opportunities, promotions, or even positive feedback. Truly have never witnessed a more toxic work environment - your mental health will be destroyed here. If you're a collaborative team member that thrives on genuine connections and collaboration - run!
