Pros

Exposure to big name clients. A lot of knowledgeable coworkers. Team atmosphere, happy hours on Friday in the office to encourage building relationships with coworkers.

Cons

Long hours. Unclear definition of responsibilities. Zero help from peers due to entire staff being buried with work. Normally I would say take these glassdoor reviews with a grain of salt when it comes to the negative comments- but I wish I hadn't before being hired here. Read them carefully. If you dont want to be in the office until 8, 9, 10 at night- I suggest you skip your interview. Because it will happen. More than you think. Their 'summer hours' is a joke. Dont buy into it, because you'll still leave late- or find yourself working at home until 1am.

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.
