Pros

- Creative, strategic, data-driven team (the best I've been a part of) - Good agency structure with a team dedicated purely to strategy and client success - Relatively competitive pay and benefits

Cons

- Overly focused on culture -- feels more like a cult with mandatory participation outside of work hours, sing-alongs, team building events, etc. Aggressive questioning from CEO/team if absent from last-minute company events. - Overly focused on being "cool" -- directing employees to be "extra cool" when clients are in, dress a particular way, play specific music, etc. - Hire lots of interns and entry-level employees (crapshoot of quality to save $ on payroll & exploits people who don't know better about healthy work cultures) - Outsource lots of work vs structured for internal strategic alignment - Company focused on tried and true tactics of what works but not open to bigger, innovative thinking - Outdated PTO structure (be more flexible, grant more sooner, etc)

Pros

I guess...Free Coffee in the morning?

Cons

Defero has potential to be the agency it claims to be, and hires smart people. However, they don't stay very long. The lack of retaining talent attributes to its leadership, which is questionable at best. The CEO struggles with maturity and is widely known as a joke. Be aware if considering employment here.
