Pros

- The company is very much at the forefront of the industry, they do innovative work and are highly skilled in all things digital. - Working with incredibly talented people all across the globe as teams for projects are created also with people from other offices in other countries. - They trust you to run the show, they don't give the best projects to senior people and less fun projectsor tasks to juniors or interns, you get responsibility from the get go and get to do great international projects. - Your colleagues are fun, diverse and very social. - The company does things like: mental health week, organising skill sharing sessions, big office parties and more pro-active fun initiatives

Cons

- Since they have bought up a lot of other companies and have to make stakeholders and investors happy, some things changed within the office. - Pay could definitely be better, but I feel if you make a strong case you can make it happen.

Pros

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Cons

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

Pros

Remote Work life balance Benefits

Cons

I was brought on under the premise of working on 1 large account, and was thrown onto 3 clients within weeks of being there, two of which were new business. No training on basic tools but hours of security and harassment training Was made to believe during the hiring process that I would be working for a global agency, where people had and wanted tenure. The reality was working through an integration of a handful of small shops, and their small-budget clients. Everyone using different tools and adhering to various (no) processes. The expectation is that you are going above and beyond to grow your clients scope/investment, the reality is that you are lucky if you have any idea how to pitch a new AI tool or service. Departments are totally disconnected and have little understanding of ways of working given the integration and insane rate of employee turnover. I had a handful of managers in my first 5 months on the job. They pushed the merit cycle back 6 months Despite my strong client and team standing, my position was eliminated effective immediately, including benefits, on the last day of the month. Bare minimum severance.
