Pros

- Good benefits. - Competitive salary (if you negotiate it properly). - Favors horizontal organizational structures. - Outstanding human capital and client portfolio. - Great culture.

Cons

- Lacks proper structure. The agency is so big now that it's close to impossible to revert this situation. - Communication between ops and leads/PMs is not great sometimes, causing overlaps and bureaucratic overhead. - THE GRIND. - Any other industry-related shenanigans you can imagine.

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

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.
