Pros

- Some passionate and talented people - Reasonable pay

Cons

This is a company that is still very much just a sister shop to Huge even if they don't want to admit it. Toxic people at the top leads to toxic culture throughout. - Very homogenous leadership in both race and gender leads to a very predictable pattern of thinking and therefore work. - Despite the homogenous make up, the leadership is fueled by ego and are extremely fractured. This leads to petty back stabbing behavior and divide within the office. - There isn't an actual vision the leadership could outline or even recite. The lack of vision really shows. - Micromanagement culture is rampant. We have people in leadership who should be focused on the big picture nitpicking the smallest of details in never-ending internal meetings. - The client list is uninspiring and the work is extremely mediocre. Even the work for some of the more "better" clients they have are extremely dry and dull. - Instead of investing and nurturing talent, they rather pay an endless stream of freelancers.
