Pros

Flexibility. Unlimited pto. Remote options. Great mid level management (not senior level). Modern offices. Access to LinkedIn learnings

Cons

I worked there for 10+ years. Towards the end I found out I was severely underpaid. Like 20% less than those in my same position with less tenure. The pay sucks. We are losing more and more jobs to India so I had to get our to protect myself and control my own career. The folks in India make tonnnnns of mistakes with 0 accountability. The folks at the top don't care about their mistakes because our India folks dirt cheap. They can take double the amount of time it takes us onshore but since they are so cheap, it doesn't matter to senior mgmt. The folks onshore are the ones fixing all the crap. Get out and be better

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.
