Pros

Great health insurance plan for US staff (not sure about other countries

Cons

Toxic culture built on constant layoffs for over 2 years. Their technology is vaporware, meanwhile clients demand more, faster, better, and cheaper, which is the agency’s promise, except it isn’t actually seem to be possible because they have removed any/all talent that actually knows and understands their clients. They bought a bunch of successful, thriving businesses and have run them all into the ground.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
