Pros

- Fully Stocked Kitchen - Gym On-site - Loads of experience to be had

Cons

Unfortunately, ROI does not take its retention rate seriously and it has a deleterious effect on morale for the company. Since the turnover rate is so high, it means that if you stick around at the company long enough you default into a management position, and that probably explains why people keep leaving. There seems to be an overall lack of accountability for those at the top/in charge, which leads to client-facing roles to feel extremely under-supported and overworked. Over the last year, while feedback channels have increased, employees are less heard than ever before, which could also be the effect of the re-organization and not having enough people in managerial roles to take employee feedback seriously and actually fight for the change that employees would like. ROI likes to say things soothe you, but then does not follow through to make sure that a problem is actually resolved. Beyond that, even though all the employees take the same tests to be hired - those don't measure work ethic and even among some of the client-facing positions, employees that are struggling to perform are kept around and take a major toll on the employees that have to take on more than one role as a result. If you want any sort of flexibility in your position or any sort of work/life balance - you probably won't get it here either. While there are hour caps for how much you work, the hours are rigid and inflexible. Lastly, if you would like to be recognized for the work that you have done. Don't come here. If you are promoted, they don't announce it. If you have done good work with a client. Forget about being rewarded. If you value being appreciated in any way, shape or form, look elsewhere. It's a slap in the face to get a high five, which is what they're trying to pawn off as recognition now.

Pros

The company tries to be trendy and provide a lot of the cool perks offered by tech companies. There's a weekly catered lunch, a gym at the office, and a kitchen with basic snacks. The

Cons

The culture of the company is rapidly declining. There's a clear issue with profitability, based upon the hiring of a new COO within the past year or so. Almost immediately, several anti-employee changes were implement. Vacation was made less flexible. Pushes towards overworking employees was emphasized. And, absolutely worst of all, about half of management was demoted to individual contributor roles. With that sudden change in the balance of power, things instantly caused promotions to be based even more upon office politics rather than merit (as if that wasn't an issue already). The result of all of these changes are that employees now feel underworked and under-appreciated, with a whole bunch of angsty Strategists that desperately want to get back to management status.

Pros

There's a shiny new office with several nice company perks like an onsite gym and catered lunches once a week. Pay is relatively good at the entry level, despite what some other reviewers might say. The company cares about developing through certificates (e.g. such as Google Analytics and Adwords certifications) and will push you to do them.

Cons

In many ways, the company loves to smile to your face and seconds later put a knife in your back. Within the past year, there was a reorganization that effectively demoted a large portion of management. To soften the blow, they restructured pay to be less commission-driven and duped a lot of would-be angry employees into thinking they weren't coming out behind (they presented data like it was raises; in reality pay remained mostly unchanged but opportunity for future raises diminished). The new, flat structure made career opportunities for management positions MUCH more slim. Don't come here with the idea of moving up the ladder quickly. With so many former Strategy Managers vying for few Team Lead positions, it simply isn't going to happen. In addition, this company is one of the absolute worst when it comes to advancing your career beyond the confines of its four walls. Several ex-employees within the last year have been intimidated into not leaving and/or threatened with lawsuits due to the overly broad non-compete contract (note that many of these instances were likely frivolous as well). Understand you may not be able to easily leave on your own terms. There's some culture problems present in the office as well. When you get such a large number of 22-26 former sorority girls all under one room, there's going to be some major cattiness. There's some strange not-quite nepotism with several married couples in the office. And, quite frankly, some of the upper management is of poor quality but kept on due to blind loyalty by executives due simply to the employee's large years of service.
