Business Outlook

Pros

The people here are very smart, motivated and talented. If you get on a good account, you'll work with some of the best in the business.

Cons

There's a small group of top talent at the top that get to work on the best pitches and projects. It's tough to break in and prove yourself sometimes.

Business Outlook

Pros

We get to work remotely.

Cons

No opportunity for growth, upper management gate-keeps and there's been four layoffs in under two years, unrealistic expectations from managers ("always on" mentality), managers can be quite rude and demeaning, there's a "yes man" ideology when it comes to clients, compensation is pretty bare and there's no opportunity to receive bonuses or raises, etc etc.
