Pros

Nice view of downtown Long Beach from balcony. Free coffee.

Cons

The culture is full of cliques and emotional abuse. If you don't find your tribe, you will be set up, and taken down for sport. HR is a joke, as they allow this to flourish and continue. Don't make the mistake of reporting. Prepare to be asked out non stop by the many men in the place, who will stand at your desk and text you at all hours. When you tell them you are not interested, again your head will wind up on a wall. The first warning sign is the creative teams love of Jimmy Johns sandwiches and beer. Of course the project management is so lacking in any type of system, you are also guaranteed to have to work all hours with these people as well so that accounts can appear on top of things. Tech capabilities are lacking and switch off at 5pm. The leaders of the team wear computer related T-shirts to establish their early credibility.

Pros

Good culture, flexible hybrid schedule.

Cons

Laid off within my second year, quite callously. Personal comments made about my non-work relationship with coworkers and their respective connections/relationships to my family, during exit interview by the global head of HR. Extremely unprofessional in how they handled my exit. Was asked word for word "is this your first time getting fired?"
