Pros

Nice office, nice people. Ideal for people who are process oriented and like to do only one type of work. Great place for people who have the gift of gab.

Cons

There are many unhappy overworked employees practically slaving away under poor distracted management. Everyone is a number (literally) and an incompetent always absent HR often turns a blind eye to the abusive work style rather than try to mitigate it. Many good employees have either left or are being pushed out. Profits are the main focus. In general not an ideal place for people who want to help their clients, learn, or work collaboratively.

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
