New York, NY

Current Employee – been working at G2 USA full-time for more than a year

Pros- Chance to work with some great concepts on the strategic, web design and analytics front
- Great learning experience across different projects
- Convenient location in New York City

Cons-The gossiping and name bashing that happens in this place is on a whole different level, but I'll also chalk that up to the workplace in general and the younger age demographic of the advertising industry
- Not as diverse as it may seem
- Groups operate in silos/do not share information freely. What makes this particular point dangerous is that I have seen this trend happen between members of the same group.
- Little room for professional advancement (have to be with the "in-crowd" in certain cases, again, I'll partly chalk this up to general office politics)
- Review system is terrible and forget about pay raises/bonuses
- No investment whatsoever in professional development (classes, certifications, etc).
- No positive reinforcement for many of the more hardworking employees.
- No focus, or understanding of process across many of the departments. This creates a cascading effect that costs the agency morale, timing, efficiency, and in some cases, clients themselves.

Advice to Senior ManagementYour business is only as good as your employees and the services you provide. Consider making significant investments in those two things to start.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Chicago, IL

Former Employee – worked at G2 USA

ProsFun, fast paced environment. Worked autonomously for the most part. Until new management took over.

ConsNew business was not on the radar. New management came in and mismanaged the current client.

Advice to Senior ManagementPick better leadership. Really look as to who was to blame and don't put a band aid on a severed head.
