Pros

Great health insurance plan for US staff (not sure about other countries

Cons

Toxic culture built on constant layoffs for over 2 years. Their technology is vaporware, meanwhile clients demand more, faster, better, and cheaper, which is the agency’s promise, except it isn’t actually seem to be possible because they have removed any/all talent that actually knows and understands their clients. They bought a bunch of successful, thriving businesses and have run them all into the ground.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
