Pros

Some of the accounts are big names The former employees were great people to work with that were middle & bottom tier

Cons

- Worst management I have ever experienced. - The SF office leadership has no idea what they are doing. - Extremely toxic and passive aggressive culture from office leadership - Office leadership will staff up and "let go" people without warning or no indication to maximize profits or the very second it gets slow, but will promote themselves through salary bumps - Terrible benefits - No bonuses - Only gave 2 weeks of severance pay and will lock you out the same day you are let go within 15 mins of telling you ( they let go 6 people at once with no warning) - Before covid you were expected to never work from home and you would be haggled if you were even a few minutes late - US/UK culture clashes - Cheaps out on work outing like taking the staff to the park - Will do illegal things with clients' budget and call them "rebates" or get kickbacks by upselling and outsourcing work - you will be expected to overexert yourself with no praise or benefits
