Strong revenue growth, smartest group of people I have ever worked with, focus on growth through promotion of people through the business.

Work/life balance can be tricky but COVID (and work from home) has actually helped with that!
Merkle Response4yThank you for your posting and for calling out the topics you have chosen relating to our growth and managing the careers of our people. Our people make our business and are fundamental to both our success as an agency and being able to offer a progressive environment to learn in. It is true that agency life is busy at times and our culture is fast paced but we hope this presents many opportunities to learn and grow.

1 - 2.0Oct 30, 2013Marketing AnalystCurrent Employee, more than 3 yearsColumbia, MD
Pros
Interesting work, smart people; good place to get work experience for college-grads (Ex: database marketing, analytics, digital analytics etc)
Cons
Not much work life balance (55-60 hour weeks are standard); employees required to 'bill' minimum hours which add up to effectively no vacation time for the year; not recommended for associates beyond entry level; Limited recognition of mid-level associates; Need to be politically astute to get any recognition.
4 - 1.0Apr 4, 2012Database DeveloperFormer EmployeeMarlborough, MA
Pros
Great co-workers (non-management) Telecommuting Free Drinks
Cons
You need to kiss the right butt to advance Only recognized if on a development account Poor raises You only advance if you have the right advocate poor work/life balance (on call 24/7) Too many chiefs not enough indians Working there felt like being in a Dilbert comic Take a reactive rather than pro-active approach to problems (They had no interest in promoting me till I handed in my resignation) The employee of the year program is a joke and is only a way for senior management to reward one another. If you are not in senior management you have no chance to obtain this award. Very political atmosphere
