      Pros

      Friendly coworkers on individual team - cannot speak for larger agency

      Cons

      Don’t waste your time, find yourself a real job.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Met some great people who I am still friends with.

      Cons

      Great team environment will be your salary, cause you won’t make any money here. Two well defined layers of company operation: management (people who have no clue what they doing, but getting paid) and planners (working like slaves and no compensation). Bureaucracy is what operates this company, no matter how hard you work decision on promotion will be based on how much you such up from your management and not your work/ clients feedback.
