Pros

- Competitive salary - WFH is embedded into the culture and you don't feel left out if you aren't in a city with an office - Intentional team-building moments

Cons

- Many of the teams I encountered were cliquey. For example, when there were group calls focused on culture-building, people who have been working for the company for a long time speak mostly to each other and make little to no effort to include others. When others speak up or add to the conversation, it's usually met with silence or basic commentary. - Some team members take too much advantage of the flexible work schedule and make it difficult to stick to timelines. - The work on the social media team is not dynamic and consists of mostly organic copywriting with team members having little to no input on the strategy or direction. - Many people who are people managers should not be; my manager was condescending, had no interest in my career development and lacked the confidence to provide feedback to me directly. - I was told I'd be treated differently because of my gender on certain teams in an unapologetic, matter-of-fact way.

Pros

While I worked there, Spectrum was a great place to work. We were fully remote, which was awesome, and still kept up with team bonding. I had decent benefits, an okay salary, and a great place to work. Most of the pros had to do with my specific team, though.

Cons

Cons: they had at least 2 rounds of layoffs which were super unprofessional in my opinion. Scheduled innocuous meeting with no intro, laid off, and once the meeting was over immediately locked out of our computers, which was a shame as we were fully remote and there was no way to say goodbye to our teammates. (Or, as a creative, to access our files in order to update our newly needed portfolio.) They laid off in-house creative after bringing on a "network" of freelancers, which is insane for an agency. Continually undercutting creatives is how we race to the bottom, which you'd think a CREATIVE agency would care about...
