Pros

Good pay, remote or hybrid option, full benefits, unlimited paid time off, great colleagues, top tear clientele, innovative work within the technology sector. Turn over rate is low - they really want people to stick around.

Cons

Not enough US hires for lead creative and production management roles, most promotions and raises go to teams south of the US border, a lot of outsourcing, you will need to consider quitting if you want higher pay or step into a higher level role. Other than extreme lack of upward mobility at this company for US employees, it’s a good company if you ride it out and the salary and benefits they offer is much better than other agencies or studios which makes it tricky to leave.

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.
