Pros

Awesome creative, ingenuitive developers. Some great projects to work on.

Cons

Terribly budgeted projects from the get-go. Poor communication between clients and internal team from the business side, resulting in further overblown budgets which the producer shoulders the blame for. Really bad resource management - necessary to barter favors from other producers to get the appropriate talent booked on a project. A lot of egos and too many cooks in the kitchen on multiple projects. Company focused more on selling methodology as opposed to experiences themselves. Egos and seniority kept the wrong people in the wrong places at this small and scrappy company. Tough clients, but the agency should know how to reign them in.

Pros

Great creatives working there. So many talented people with no where to go because of managements squeeze on them. Truly sad.

Cons

Management is horrid. Has no clue on how or where to enter the mobile market.

Pros

They hire people who are really good at what they do and who will say nothing is impossible. Good to work alongside people of that caliber. The projects are usually pretty varied and interesting, unless you're stuck on a single account.

Cons

You have to work to make sure everything is possible no matter how impossible it is. No work-life balance. Pays lower than many companies. Seems like it used to be a fun work environment, but that's faded. Flat. No heirarchy. No mentoring. Nowhere to advance.
