Best agency I've ever worked for!

Pros

Having worked at 2 previous PPC agencies before joining MT, I can whole-heartedly say that Metric Theory is the agency where I have found myself happiest. From the right amount of work/life balance to empathetic senior management that truly values their employees, MT takes great strides in ensuring that their employees are cared for properly. On top of that, it's exciting to be able to work with some of the top brands out there!

Cons

2 words: AGENCY. LIFE. It can definitely weigh on you if you let it.

Terrible leadership and outdated culture hinder progress

Pros

No real positives - they had remote work but constantly keep teasing that everyone will need to be in the office

Cons

- absolutely terrible leadership - horrible with money - no performance reviews or opportunity for raises - they want you to work ten different jobs without proper pay - too many men trying to prove they can be leaders - there is no culture and older monks are stuck in the past on how things use to be - Sir Martin needs to step down
