Pros

Ability to travel and work with creative people in Boston

Cons

The company as a whole has a fair amount of learning to do, however The big blue account takes it to another level. This place is a revolving door. There are some pros to the company but what little there is doesn't seem to exist in Austin. The leader of the office is a basket case who never follows up on a promise and certainly doesn't care about the employees. Leads to fear for upper management and it results in an exorbitantly negative environment. They are CONSTANTLY hiring people with no experience. And to make things even worse, they promote people who have no clue what they are doing. Upper management in Austin doesn't value the talented staff and will replace you with a new hire who came straight from a animal shelter...... Because they can "train them". It's almost unbelievable how ignorant the senior management is. But rest assured, they are happy to drop thousands of dollars on new rugs and comfy couches where the staff that have no work can hang out. If you are OK with no acknowledgement of your talent, terrible pay and want to get worked like a mule, then join the Austin office. The 3 Austin reviews before mine hit the nail on the head.
