Great benefits, no career trajectory

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great benefits (parking, pet insurance, etc) - There is flexibility to move across teams depending on your interests - Office is nice, catered lunch weekly - CTO is very down to earth, friendly, and understanding

Cons

- Lack of diversity in the company, especially in the Technology team: there are few African Americans and there are also few women - I was told there would be a promotion evaluation every 6 months. This was not true and has not happened. - Leadership has been vague about promotions due to the company merger for over a year and a half. - Fellow teammates also feel hopeless, under-appreciated, and desperate for direction in career growth

Pros

Interesting work being done for top tier clients and brands. Many smart and talented people that really care about and enjoy their work.

Cons

Horrible leadership across the board. Executives are misaligned and incapable of making decisions. Layoffs have focused on creative talent, not the bloated senior leadership and numerous redundant executives. They killed all the culture and the US offices are especially bad. There is generally a toxic workplace environment the promotes undercutting, political alliances, and cronyism, not actual talent.
