Pros

Good work life balance depending on client. People will respect your time if you put your foot down. Here and there, there will be cool creative opportunities that pop up. Overall the people are nice.

Cons

Old school mentality from leadership. Don't know how to bring back a creative culture that makes sense for the people doing all the work. Expensive agency for clients, so they tend to play it safe with the work at times. A lot of overpromising and underdelivering from leadership.

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.
