      I have been working at Huge full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      The commitment from the Sr. Leadership to mentor and help their employees grow is unlike most companies I have worked at. They geniunely care about the people.

      Cons

      Huge has been growing, and is undergoing some growing pain. It wants to be too many things. Integrated marketing, product development, AI, etc. It needs a focus.

      Advice to Management

      Huge is no longer just a product agency as we all know it, but I don't know how many people can definitively say they know Huge's new identity. Focus on that. If user-centricity seems to differentiate Huge from the other shops, we need to find a way to productize and operationalize it.

      I have been working at Huge full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      I've worked at Huge's DC office for multiple years, and have found an endless number of opportunities to learn, grow, and be my best self in a work environment filled with smart, ambitious, and wonderful people. I'm confident that whenever I approach a problem, as long as I give it my all, my coworkers will be there to support my work whether it is a success or failure.

      Huge's multi-office network is also highly collaborative, and the company is very supportive of offices working together. I've frequently described DC as a 50 person office, with the capabilities and knowledge of 1,000 employees.

      Cons

      Working teams are generally very small by design, and can combine with the fast-paced nature of many projects to create high-stress environments with little warning.

      Advice to Management

      Continue being accessible to your employees, and work collaboratively with them on projects, rather than just providing oversight on said work.

      Pros

      Cons

      trying to find itself
      no clear vision
      people leaving by the droves and not being replaced

      I have been working at Huge full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      There's some incredible work lurking in the corners. If you're savvy you'll find it. Huge is the place to quickly build a career, or to pivot a stalled career.

      Cons

      Just don't stay too long. The agency industry eats you up.

      Advice to Management

      Find a strategy - stick to it. Make everyone aware of said strategy even if it hurts. Dare to steer the organization in that direction. Don't keep people around to fill temporary positions for marginally important work.

      "Most insulting salary process I've ever experienced"

      I have been working at Huge full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Employed (At the poverty level for NYC).

      Cons

      HR will do everything and anything they can to pay you as little as possible. I've been at Huge with stellar reviews for 2 years and was basically laughed out of the room after asking for a 10k bump (which still would have put me about 15k below the industry average based on my performance, experience level, education level, reviews) If you're looking for a "get what you deserve" or "ask and you will receive" workplace, this is not it. I have changed titles twice since being here and have received ZERO comp change despite having MANY discussions about it with managers (all of whom asked for it on my behalf) and HR (who have only ever said no with no explanation). Unacceptable and completely insulting both as a woman and a dedicated employee.

      Advice to Management

      A solid review should mean an annual raise or bonus-always! Solids review 2 years running and no raise or bonus: unacceptable.

      I worked at Huge full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great culture, feels like a standalone agency and not a satellite. Management invests in office space, food and other perks. General vibe is a work/life balance despite major clients. Talented business strategy, analytics, research, UX and creative teams. Opportunity to do great work.

      Cons

      Management doesn't empower senior team leaders to bring their expertise to the table. Decisions are made behind closed doors with a juvenile attitude, preventing the agency from learning from its mistakes. Promises are made to senior hires that are not kept. Vision is great, delivery is not. And at the price clients are paying, they often choose to not return.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to those you hire, even if it's hard to hear.

      I worked at Huge full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Small pockets of great digital talent are left.
      Large number of recent exits allow for personal growth and opportunity.
      Leadership and organizational chaos gives you the luxury on where to focus your time.

      Cons

      A shadow of itself and past success
      New leadership lacks buy-in, sophistication, and loyalty
      Several recent rounds of lay-offs, office closures and leadership departures
      Poor career management and manager training

      Advice to Management

      Start from scratch, rebuild trust, integrity and establish following
