Pros

Learn a lot about digital marketing, gain exposure to clients quickly, receive responsibility early; nice perks - office food, wfh, charity days; some of the benefits of a startup; management listen to people (for most things);

Cons

Work is challenging and at times a lot is expected and depends on you. This isn't bad, but compensation for this is inadequate - I'm certain clients won't believe the salaries their account managers and directors get. At times you need to work long hours.

Pros

You have a CEO who wears a fun hat, so that means he's down with the young folks, I guess.

Cons

It's literally no different than all the other corporate agencies. You won't sleep, you won't eat, and you'll get thrown under the bus. You'll be graded not on your performance, but on how well you follow mundane processes that do literally nothing to produce quality work. Management is obsessed with adding new documents or micromanaging policies for everything they can. Just because employees aren't being yelled at doesn't mean the environment isn't toxic. You will not have a life here, They will not set you up for success.
