Pros

The heart of 720 is the people. The principals know the industry inside-out. The teams are easy to get along with and the account managers do a great job, in dealing with daily challenges, while giving the creative teams opportunities to be successful. They respect the creative process which is vital to success. The range of different clients give designers an opportunity to flex their creative muscles and build a string portfolio, while using your skills to "do good." Many of the clients have very well-established brands, so we have great roadmaps of how to approach design and where we can push the limits. Over the last few years we have been winning more digital business and the tech team has been an amazing partner in leading the digital efforts.

Cons

Crazy asks by clients...but we are an agency, so it comes with the territory.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere with a great sense of camaraderie. The principals and account directors really know their stuff. Frequent happy hours and other company-wide events -- always a blast!

Cons

A rather niche client base, but if that's your field you won't find anyplace better.

Pros

While at 720, I worked with a lot of great professionals. People in that office are doing really solid work. There was a great sense of camaraderie. I really enjoyed some of the projects I contributed to, producing a great work product alongside talented individuals. It was a relaxed office, jeans were okay most days. Generally were accepting of a flexible work schedule, allowing flex work time that made balancing commutes and home life easier.

Cons

There are some real problems in management. While there was flex time, one manager was known for keeping tabs on who was there when -- but mostly just using is as a "I was here later" complaint tactic instead of realizing who had been there early in the morning. So great if you're a late person, not so great if you're a morning person. There are some serious problems communicating with staff. And morale problems are approached in a way that a lunch or company outing would fix much deeper problems. Micromanaging runs rampant from the top, but in a kind of schizophrenic way. The way management handles discussing money and revenue was also really unsettling. Some days it was as if there was money to just throw at projects. And other days the management was making it appear that losing a single contract or bid would do the company in. I don't think it actually would, but that was the atmosphere.
