      Chaotic, no trust, over processed

      Pros

      There are pockets of good people. Healthcare is unparalleled anywhere and time off is welcomed.

      Cons

      As the company acquired so many studios, there was no infrastructure in place to manage the scaling size. Consolidating every entity to a single name was a disaster. It has caused tension between teams that would never normally work together, no trust to make staff or business decisions, a bloat in leadership and account teams, and constant layoffs. Raises have been on pause for 2-3+ years and expected to stay as such. An obsession on the next buzzword (was Metaverse, now it's AI) and selling any work is causing issues on the ground level. People just want to do good work and be enabled to make decisions to do the work well.

      Pros

      None that I can think of

      Cons

      XX Artists is like a high school clique of mean girls hiring everyone else to do their bidding for them. When I was there, the CEO and Chief of Staff were high school besties and basically had a hive mind. Their director level folks are highly unprofessional. I got let go for “performance” reasons, when my manager didn’t have a single 1:1 with me until 6 weeks in. Even then, the thought I had only been there for 2 weeks. Unless you’re in their inner circle, you get set up to fail. Also a weird culture there of celebrating Kyle the CEO like he’s some kind of God. They have big clients, but everything about the work there is awful. No one trains your on the systems or programs you’re supposed to use, and it only affects the employee that isn’t properly trained — not the senior level person that is supposed to be training them. Also, it was one of the WORST pay rates in the entire industry, in my 12 years of experience in the digital space. Absolutely zero redeeming qualities about Kyle and his cult followers.
