Pros

They give you a free backpack with the logo on it.

Cons

When given an assignment you'll have to Google the client's name because it will be somebody you've never heard of. Almost all of the work was either B2B or healthcare/financial services and the projects they did win were usually under-bid and under-estimated. Employees aren't given performance reviews and the rare salary increases didn't keep up with inflation. The company seems to grow mostly by acquiring smaller agencies and then scaring off their existing clients until the most talented employees resign one by one, leaving the company an empty shell of its former self.

Pros

Very little outside of some of the people you work with. FTO is only nice if you have a manager who lets you use it. They did allow work from home, not sure if that is still the case.

Cons

This company was run poorly by Tom Hogan before private equity bought it but the buyout accelerated their decline. If you want to be a cog in the machine, this is the place for you. The leadership is only focused on themselves. They will praise you or throw you under the bus depending on how they feel it makes them look to their bosses. The employees who don’t have a stable long term project live in fear of being let go irregardless of talent and many of their most talented are leaving because they see the writing on the wall.
