Pros

embedded model with a lot flexibility of moving between teams. HR team is amazingly supportive. It is not a big company but quite decent, really.

Cons

in process of integration with a larger scale of sister companies. Hope it will bring a brighter future and please still keeps the current harmony company culture.

Pros

Work with the biggest brands and leading creatives from around the world!

Cons

Fast pace can be fun, but dangerous for burnout. After a series of mergers and acquisitions there is a lot to sort out worldwide, but I am confident we will dial it in with time.

Pros

They've made a big point of finding great people and allowing them to bring their full selves to the table. Lots of weird people in a good way–no one is afraid to be themselves and that creates great culture and also helps them put together great work for clients. People are really empathetic and understanding and that creates a vibe of "we're all in this together" vs. "everyone in it for themselves" I've seen play out at other agencies. Also seem to really care about pushing their employees in their careers–people tend to be actually promoted within the company versus needing to leave to seek out higher levels of work and more money elsewhere.

Cons

Some teams are "fully" staffed, some teams definitely need more people. Depending on the account you could have as many as 10 people working on things or as little as 3-4. It's definitely a larger problem in the industry but fighting to get the right number of bodies to support the work the clients want to do seems tougher than usual. Huge variety in accounts being worked on means there are definitely brands that offer a ton of flexibility and creative freedom vs. others are very small and don't want to do more than just bring in the revenue.
