Pros

Huge client names. Oppurtunity to learn by trying new tech on greenfield projects. A great bunch of people, the senior management team honestly can't do much more for you. Great work-life balance. They have manager who can actually plan and deliver.

Cons

Billing by the hour. Obviously, it's an agency, so this is how money is made. Below market salary, no perks (pension matching, health insurance, bonus)

Pros

Lots of individuals that make up many teams from design, copy, motion, production artists, and even full-time strategists.

Cons

I left right before a big merge, so I can't speak to how it is after the merge. This review may be outdated.

Pros

The design team is very talented and kind.

Cons

Very boring agency to work at. They only claim the agency is not doing good, "we don't have money" so no raises, 1.2% merit increases this year. This doesn't even keep up with inflation rate. At this company you will just be a number on a spreadsheet, waiting to get laid off because they would rather use a million different AI than hire any entry level positions. They fail almost every pitch because the leadership is empty-headed, comes in and changes the entire concepts and decks. And they claim they are very transparent and B-corp but they discriminate against POC all the time and lie about your prospects at their company. It's really not worth your nerves to work for them.
