Pros

Free la croix, outdoor patio, lots of alcohol to numb your feelings of working here.

Cons

Basically leadership went on a pretty hefty lying spree after the agency started losing a lot of business, we were told not to worry, that the offices would be collaborating more closely across NY, SF, and LA, and then bam, fired almost the entire creative department in LA. That’s how they run business, clients don’t want to pay for lackluster flashy concept work, the expertise is lacking, compensation is low (there are no bonuses), leadership is literally clueless about how to maintain client happiness and work integrity. Some of the talent was incredible, mainly the hands on design team, unfortunately some of the creative directors were all ex-Huge fluff that had egos as expansive as the unused office space from repeated lay offs, but you got lucky with a few good ones. Pointless now since they were all fired anyways. Basically a completely unstable company run by morons. If you want to grow, learn, make incredible work - honestly go anywhere else at this point. This company is a nightmare and it’s falling apart fast. It’s a real shame.
