Pros

Amazing & talented people, unlimited PTO, relaxed hybrid office policy, and competitive pay. I've been here over 5 years now and am not going anywhere anytime soon.

Cons

Limited in where they can hire by office locations

Pros

Robust client portfolio of global / multi region brands, many running full funnel media. Generous benefits (16 wk parental leave, fertility coverage, good PPO health option, flex time off that's easy to schedule/get approved). Culture that is inclusive everyday, not just tent pole moments throughout the year including several community groups within the agency. Incredible new business / growth team and approach allowing all involved associates to gain experience. Core org design to connect media activation with strategy, tech, analytics for actual business impact for clients.

Cons

Organizational changes and client shifts have made career pathing difficult for some positions at present, teams need more staffing like most agencies. Without going far above and beyond your JD it can be hard to be noticed by key leaders for bigger opportunities.

Pros

Organized environment with processes in place for the most part. Good office benefits.

Cons

Really depends on your team and the accounts you're on. Low pay and little room for promotions. You basically have to be comfortable with the salary you start out with. The New York office isn't that social, even though there are events. Most people just keep to themselves. Just an average corporate environment. In the last few years, I've seen a lot of change after the most recent CEO was hired. They're regressing their benefits (less time for parental leave, no summer fridays, hammering down on timesheets and time off). Not really coming off as "people first" imo. As a PM, there aren't many opportunities for promotions. They openly say to all jobs that you only get promotions if there's an opening, NOT if you've worked for it. They're also increasing the number of jobs that are outsourced in Bangalore, clearly trying to save a buck.
