Pros

Surrounded by incredible talent and brain power every day. Excellent work-life balance opportunities throughout the organization, with a strong emphasis on physical health (free gym). Great management training programs.

Cons

Traditional hierarchical 20th century corporate structure that can be inflexible if you're career is rooted in dynamic or disrupted industries. Executive culture rewards poor decision makers and trickles down political maneuvering to middle management, impacting performance at multiple levels. Difficult to impossible to achieve promotions, thus de-incentivizing the employee review process over time. Lack of incentives for cross-departmental collaboration, thus stymying other avenues for professional growth and advancement.

Pros

- began work with an amazing team and culture - exposure to major IP and high-profile campaigns - some genuinely talented and passionate colleagues - fast-paced environment that builds skills quickly - healthcare is decent - some fun on-lot perks

Cons

- poor work/life balance exceptions from SPTV lower and upper management - unmanageable workload left little room for the collaboration and meeting engagement leadership expected - upper management changes resulted in reactive restructuring with little regard for team culture or continuity - inconsistent management: some leaders failed to empower or advocate for their teams - clear office politics which interfere with business decisions - quick burnout when management fails to course-correct workload - leadership set workloads based on personal work style rather than sustainable team norms - little to no growth opportunities - 4 days in office is excessive and unnecessary
