Pros

- On time pay - Thriving environment for Bootlickers

Cons

- No acknowledgement & stagnant career growth - Work 14-15hrs everyday for a month for reporting and you'll still be told that you are not enough - Work pressure so much that it increased my belly fat and turned a few of my hairs grey and I am in mid-20s with an Excellent Hair care routine I follow everyday - People lost clients but still received promotions, bonuses & increment because of bootlicking nature - Casually asked to stretch till 1-2am and then deny compensatory off stating T&Cs like "cannot be paired with weekend or holidays" - Feedbacks aren't given when work is delivered and rather given during review meetings - No acknowledgment for Over-Stretching on weekdays and even weekends - Working over the weekend is an unsaid norm & non-negotiable - Proximity to office will be considered of the number of hours you stay in the office, i.e. if you stay near then it does not matter if the entire office goes back around 4pm and then logs in, You have to stay till 7-8 and face peak traffic - Late to office will be noticed and taken into account but pulling off all-nighters will be ignored and still expected to show on time the next morning - Unrealistic timelines given to client which will result in hectic work days and you are expected to prioritize Only work instead of timely meals, shower and even basic exercise to stay fit - If somehow you want a week off to cool off the stress and are denied yet you stay courageous and push for it, expect a "catch up" call scheduled with the head of the team

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
