        Pros

        Seriously some really smart people, especially at the individual contributor level. If you're on the Google account, big opportunities to make a worldwide impact.

        Cons

        Where do I start... 1. Managers aren't thoughtful and actively stop employees from talking about promotions or career growth. I have been told that I should "work hard and it'll come" rather than a conversation of tangible steps I can take to improve. 2. They have dismissed concerns and kept colleagues who have been sexist and racist while laying off talented people. 3. The CEO is actually psychotic... he yelled at the company during an all-hands and essentially told us to be grateful for having a job while taking our benefits away. Look up Mat Baxter and see the types of things he's said in interviews. 4. I haven't cried this much at a job ever - I had breakdowns several times a week.

          Pros

          There's still some really great people at the company.

          Cons

          CEO drove the place into the ground. Management is pretty awful and completely out of sync with the folks in the weeds. Even the Google account is losing its steam. There have been silent layoffs - in addition to the 6-7 rounds we have had in the last year and a half - happening on a regular basis.

            Pros

            Once there was a culture of creativity and boldness that drew clients to want to work with Huge and a great group of collaborators to do it with.

            Cons

            Too much mediocrity in the C suite. Creativity is now just a label not something management understands of believes in. Too busy trying to productize offerings rather than solving client problems.

              Good benefits, work/life balance, and great office

              Cons

              Some of the Hugers who have been there a while are incredibly hardened. The leadership have zero clue what to do with the company, and the product is reflecting that. Overall it seemed few were happy there, and while I was having a nice time, the morale was just too low to enjoy. Also, don’t count on a promotion or a sizable raise while there.

                Pros

                Used to be a great place with stellar talent. There are still pockets left.

                Cons

                Since the new CEO started in 2021, he's absolutely gutted everything that people loved about working at Huge. "Tell it like it is" has given way to more corporate jargon than you can imagine (peep the company website to see what I mean). Supportive, people-first culture has given way to soul-sucking anonymity. Our immaculate design aesthetic has given way to, for example, a deck template that works against communicating an idea. It's depressing to see a once-great place brought so low.

                  Pros

                  You can create your own autonomy and run projects as you wish (given the right management set up). People really value project managers, especially the ones who put the team and business first.

                  Cons

                  Theirs is very little room for advancement. Processes need to improve and you ideally take on the brunt of the blow when things go bad in a project

                    Pros

                    - great benefits including Minimum Paid-time Off policy where you are required to take at least 10 days off during the year. - company culture is transparent and supportive

                    Cons

                    - the company is still trying to figure out a fully-remote management structure so there are some challenges that they are experiencing - management structure has changed a lot and it is not clear how they are effectively staffing people - lots of layoffs occurred over the 2 years I was there

                        CEO driven by vision that destroyed company. Layoffs all the time. Little process. Politics.

                      I made it to the final round of a job and got rejected, my third such time this has happened in the past year or two. Is it me? Would going to portfolio school to boost my appeal as a candidate be a terrible idea? I’ve been in house for 4 years, never been ad side, but am tempted by agency life where I would hopefully get more creatively fulfilling opportunities, along with the chance to learn and push my concepting abilities. Right now most of my work is just boring BAU stuff
