Pros

Generally good coworkers, good location, snacks in the kitchen, good client portfolio, creative office space.

Cons

No 401k enrollment until year 2 (which few employees make it to). Average to below average pay. Micromanagement is the only kind of management. When morale is down (which is more often than not) the president throws an event together, which staff immediately see through. Though this is a female-led business, the women here are treated terribly. No talent retention, one of the teams has seen a 100% turnover in the past year, and very few veteran staff remain. Withholding information from clients about who is managing their accounts is not uncommon.

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.
