Pros

People Work life balance depending on the team Decent perks Big clients, majority of them are fun to work with

Cons

Constant layoffs, leading to stress because the decision is not based on performance more so based on how profitable you can be. Lack of integration with said other agencies. Constant talks about becoming “one”. It’s been years and it is still very much isolated. AI as a buzzword. Eye roll. Poor career advancement/no raises/no promotions. Preferred to line investors pockets than to pay the workers who deserve it.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
