Pros

The collect quality talent from the acquired agencies.

Cons

Toxic culture that come from the top The original Media.Monks people are awful, slimy, dishonest, and protective of their boys-network. Acquired dozens of innovative agencies and ruined them with mismanagement and incompetence Wave after wave of unofficial layoffs but won't acknowledge them internally or publicly so they can avoid the legal constraints Expects employees to work long hours, and will only reward the non-complainers by giving them promotions that don't include pay increases

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
