Pros

Many talented and driven employees. Work/Life balance is wonderful and why people are staying.

Cons

Top tier management lack leadership skills and ability to implement or follow through on what they claim are their plans. Pay has remained stagnant for years. Last year's increase in pay was 1% for the very top performers. Bonuses didn't exist this year and last year's were pitiful as well.

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.
