Pros

Working with international teams and clients gave me valuable exposure to different industries and perspectives.

Cons

- The workflow was a complete disaster, filled with endless confusion and shifting goals. - Leadership constantly changed direction, making it impossible to finish anything on time or with quality. - Expectations were unclear, and deadlines were completely unrealistic. - Approvals dragged on forever because leadership could never agree on a single vision. - Thoughtful, well-planned content was torn apart and rewritten again and again without explanation. - The environment drained every ounce of creativity, rewarding obedience instead of real talent or insight. - Collaboration was replaced by chaos, and what should have been a fulfilling creative role turned into frustration and burnout.

Pros

Working here has exposed me to larger digital projects than I handled in my previous analyst jobs. I expected another fast-paced environment where daily chaos is the norm, but the pace is quite manageable and things are pretty well organized. I also appreciate that employees are trusted to handle their responsibilities without constantly being monitored.

Cons

Some project timelines are unrealistic, usually because clients have unrealistic expectations.

Pros

They had plenty of interesting projects. I was a part of a couple of them in the first few months.

Cons

In my opinion, the people at the top usually set the tone and impact the workplace culture. Those people were awful here. The unethical and terrible leaders set poor deadlines in projects without consulting anyone because "they were always right." It created many challenges for honest employees like me who wanted to do their best but couldn't due to the horrible pressure. Each day was full of stress, each day was miserable, and each day I thought of quitting. I finally took the essential step when there was no other choice. The only way to stay away from scary and overlapping deadlines is by quitting. Your logical reasoning and pleas will be unheard here. Please avoid hoping for changes that will never come true.
