Pros
Loved the "Work from Anywhere" model (no longer the policy) Really good, kind, best-in-class people + talent across all departments. Initially very competitive salaries The original vision of the agency is very compelling, and recruiters were charismatic and seemed to really care.
Cons
Unfocused, unclear leadership, paired with intense micromanagement and little to no transparency from the top. ECD/founder has strong preference for his own ideas and ices out the world-class creative talent he brings in - this makes all the work feel the same, because it's essentially written by the same guy. Optics > actual culture. Extremely challenging to develop professionally or move beyond the initially appealing salary offers. Actively disregards employee concerns with attrition rate / turnover. Employees/leadership know to keep their mouths shut, smile, and say "yes" if they want to keep their jobs - plenty of examples of people who mysteriously 'parted ways' after being too vocal in their feedback or dissent.
