Pros

- The weekends - A thrilling opportunity of making someone who doesn’t care about you rich - Instead of pursuing your dreams you can face existential dread in the office - Learning how to navigate life by applying the ambiguous "Working hard or hardly working?" rule eagerly practiced by upper management

Cons

- Spreading fake values on social media and agency calls about pristine management style, focus on employee development and preaching wellness while the company doesn’t have a basic HR system or any vision for career development of their employees - Management and so called ‘Directors’ lack basic qualifications and fail to foster a motivating and supportive environment - Toxic culture with clear favoritism based on connections rather than skills - Extreme lack of strong senior leadership - No strategic vision or business stability - No space for learning, promotions or development - Absolute lack of interest in subordinates by line managers - Managers/Directors face no consequences for flagged behavior due to internal politics and friendships - Company conducts frequent mass layoffs for no reason only to rehire for the same positions - Old building, no parking spaces, 20 minutes wait for an elevator and additional 20 mins to go up to 41 floor - Cheapest health insurance, no benefits, no bonuses, no salary increases, no company events - Salaries way below market value - Top talent already left the agency

Pros

The working environment is friendly, supportive, and collaborative, with colleagues who are approachable and easy to work with. I also appreciate the trust, flexibility, and openness to new ideas. It's a great place for people who have initiative, want to take ownership, and are motivated to bring their ideas to life

Cons

The company has a dynamic environment, so it may be less suitable for people who prefer fixed routines or do not enjoy learning new things
