Pros

Lax with work from home requirements

Cons

- management constantly lies about lay-offs - if they say your job is safe, just assume it isn’t. Update your resume constantly. - really, really cold HR team - I’ve never been talked down to by so many people in a workplace - you will not grow here - you will work on the client they hired you for and then fire you when they ultimately lose the client because the “agency” can’t deliver on the lies the execs sold to them in the pitch process - this is not a one stop shop - they cannot do media and streamline it with creative. Everything is clunky. - this is everything true agency culture stands against . Which I guess isn’t surprising given the history of the company. (Or 10000s of small independent agencies they bought up and tried to mush into one)
