Pros

Remote work, great benefits, unlimited PTO, amazing accounts and clients

Cons

- Layoffs seem to happen every pay period with no notice or transparency. You won't realize someone on your team has been laid off until you suddenly notice that they've been deactivated on Slack. Communication from upper management has been extremely poor. - They will stretch you across multiple accounts and not let you have enough time to dedicate to each client. - Weirdly supportive of AI tools. They laid off a ton of designers and in the same week encouraged mandatory AI training, appearing very tone deaf and lacking in empathy.

Pros

There are no pros to working here - even one star is too much

Cons

Management was largely uncommunicative and gave inconsistent direction. There was little to no onboarding structure, and getting basic access or information felt like pulling teeth. Leadership seemed more focused on optics than on actually supporting their team. Account management practices were poor at best – they have no clue how to manage their clients, financially or otherwise. There was no clear ownership, processes were all over the place, their workflow offerings are a joke, and the internal culture reflected a real lack of accountability at senior levels. Most concerning was the overall treatment of employees. There's a moral disconnect between how this company presents itself externally and how it actually operates internally. People are not valued here.
