Pros

A lot of smart, hard working people at your peer level. Base pay is competitive

Cons

Media Leadership have no idea what they are doing - literally, as they are all from a Content/Creative background. Company performance is terrible resulting in little to no bonus budgets for the past 3 years. The Media arm of the business is driving all the Net Revenue, yet they let all the good Media people go recently. They bang on about AI yet the only client they have is operating at single digit margins... and they do not have a Media AI solution. Avoid if you want a serious career in Digital Media - they will sell you out, even if you are making them $Millions
