I'd say that some creative ideas can be fun to execute and there are many talented and dedicated staff in many departments still left there I hope.

Cons

Accounting is seriously a joke especially since joining forces with the new york team. Good luck to freelancers and crew trying to get paid within 60-90 days. Big flag is that so many managers became senior because they were there longer, not based on ability to manage or even do their job well. Also don't expect salary bump-ups based on increased job duties (or fair salaries really at all) - offensive starting salaries way below asking. There's terrible communication and transparency from the top down, weak partnerships - often with undesirable outcomes aka joint ventures pulling out early. So many rounds of layoffs and it doesn't seem like they were able to get morale back at all. Huge lack of vision and direction for the Toronto office/Canadian sector. Loss of brand identity for sure - really showed in the focus groups they ran in the Toronto office plus the 1-on-1s with the ex-Toronto leader. It seems that many possible partners/companies don't want to work with Vice anymore - they tried it once and won't come back. There's a lack of information provided before or after scandals/bad press about the company or bad press about ex-staff. Lack of proper on-boarding for new staff. Honestly, this place was disappointing - I expected to want to be here longer than 2 years.
