Pros

Cool list of projects and clients that will get notoriety Challenging work and makes you flex your creative muscles A lot of really nice people Good leaders for the most part at least in Design. really felt like I was encouraged to grow within the org and that really felt empowering. A Senior Designer her is probably a Lead or Director level at other comparable orgs simply because they do let you own the projects and give you the opportunity to lead.

Cons

Nothing that other agencies aren't challenged with. Long hours but feel like each assignment was a definite portfolio piece Pay is a bit lower than at most places especially for where they have offices LA, TO, AMS but if its a remote role it probably about right.

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

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.
