Pros

Has a good learning rate, the staff is very friendly and diverse. You wont get lost doing you job. The office is very homey, very nice. very appropriate

Cons

Too much pressure, too much work, you are forced to work extra hours that are not paid, just because some cocky client wants something that cannot be done, and in the end, it is your fault if it is wrong, because CM sells, you only deliver, and they won't even ask if what they want is possible in the time limit they give. Management doesn't know anything, I thought my boss was an expert in the area, turns out, I know more from the area I belonged to than him, and I was a newcomer. They force you to work inhuman amount of hours, with a measly salary that will only increase at most, once every year.

Pros

Compensation is good but only if you ask for it and only if management like you. Exposure to wide range of projects/categories in the marketing field

Cons

Rituals of humiliation from management and a workplace culture based on fear. Poor team collaboration. Excessive ego among leads, which prevents executives and assistants from growing/learning. Unethical research and reporting practices — they often aim to please the client, leading to strong confirmation bias just to sell. Lack of team organization — no daily meetings, no 1-on-1s, and in teams where they exist, they’re not respected. Management is extremely rude, and the leads are also abusive — they project a false sense of support. Micromanagement to the 100000% but at the same time they expect ownership of the problems they don´t want to deal with. Super incoherent. Lack of support — not even Human Resources knows how to deal with the bosses, and any sense of justice goes unnoticed.
