Pros

We genuinely do great work for our clients.

Cons

Senior leadership are invisible. Poorly thought out initiatives created every month. These initiatives are tracked but the outcome for the business is not (e.g. they track the number of conversation with prospect you have but give no indication if it leads to sales). More admin with no benefit. Ancient technology and systems from the 90s. No pay rises for 2.5 years in spite of increasing hourly rate they charge clients above inflation!

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
