Pros

You get to work on some cool projects ... and the job might look good on the resume you will start working on after your third week on the job.

Cons

The leadership sucks and communication is horrible. Nobody talks to each other and nobody leads. The culture in the San Carlos office is terrible. I have worked in the office for 5 months and I still don't know some people's names. Very unfriendly and not excited to go to work everyday.

Management leaves a lot to be desired

Pros

Work on big projects but clients did not take a lot of creative risks so deliverables end up being fairly conservative

Cons

Management is slow to respond to employee needs. You feel like a replaceable cog in the wheel. I've never worked anywhere where "getting thrown under the bus" is heard is the halls and culturally practiced. Except at GPJ.

Pros

The company has good reputation. You'll have opportunities to work on Fortune 500 accounts. The benefits package is great: FTO, paid family leave, ESOP, HSA. Most employees care about their work and put in the effort to succeed. The agency is part of a wide network of resources and offices.

Cons

Offices are too political, bureaucratic and territorial. Boston office lacks diversity. Promotion criteria overplay time on the job. No work life balance: Managers and executives don't respect employees' personal time. Hiring process is broken: New hires are not onboarded effectively and not trained well.
