Pros

Great location, some social perks.

Cons

Aggressive recruiting strategy, you’re not given time to think about your offer and they refuse to negotiate. Training and development promised when you’re on boarded is never delivered. Condescending and cliquey management that leave you doubting yourself. Excessive hours - you’re to be available 24x7 otherwise you’re spoken to like you’re an idiot. Performance reviews are given as back handed compliments. Coercive questioning is prominent throughout the team - you’re asked questions in ways that force you to answer in a way that you’re incompetent. Aggressive Micro Management techniques. Cliques everywhere! You’re always made to feel like an outsider and that you need to be silent.

Pros

- I worked with some fabulous people. Many of my coworkers turned into lifelong friends. - Fun culture. There was always something fun happening in the office. - Some cool client work.

Cons

- Not much flexibility, at least on my team. VML prides themselves as being flexible in terms of their hybrid work. However, many teams still do not follow to model and I was stuck on a rule following team with little to no flexibility. It all comes down to your manager and the team you're on whether you need to be in the office. - My manager was a super micromanager. It got so draining that I couldn't take it anymore. My manager made many rude and condescending comments over the years and tended to talk behind others backs, which I thought was very unprofessional. - I didn't get a raise in two years. In this economy, I had to look for a better paying job to pay my bills. - No room to grow in my career.
