Pros

Fair work-life balance (depending on the team you are part of). Nice office, nice atmosphere (depending on the division you are part of)

Cons

No progression. Low salary, skales are all over the place and don't make any sense, job titles don't mean anything and you end up managing people who earn more than you. Just shocking to see how everything related to salaries and skales is not transparent. aligned, fair and reasonable. Everything HR-related is lengthy and complicated, you have to fight for yourself and you often feel unheard. Not a place to work if you expect fairness and transparency. Expect a bonus only if you are 80+ skale or part of sales. If you don't bring the money in, you are no one to the business. Quite a shame, as if they'd really walk their talk this could be a great company to work for, but it's not at the moment.

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.
