Pros

A lot of good people (below senior leadership) work here. The teams are full of people who do great work, work hard, and are willing to lend a hand.

Cons

Razorfish and all of Groupe love to tell you when you join how much internal mobility there is: I haven't seen this to be true. There are no growth opportunities, only lateral moves with no compensation changes, ad infinitum. I observed this with my colleagues as well so not limited to my own experience. Employee retention is currently the org's lowest priority. They are not even remotely concerned about retention and even seem to want to encourage people to leave so that they can hire more junior, less expensive people for the same roles. It has practically been stated in town halls that this is the plan (lots of talk about "leveraging junior talent" following layoffs of more tenured employees -- very bad optics). Every few months there is a different explanation for why there have not been promotions across the org over the course of the last nine months. Benefits continue to be reduced or replaced with inferior options (the swap-in insurance providers this year was a horrendous decision) and no one in senior leadership seems bothered. Pay equity also abysmal and inconsistent, and HR ignores correspondences if you ask to have a conversation about it.

Pros

- Great people to work with - High-profile portfolio of clients - FTO that you're actually able to use - Decent work-life balance even working 100% remote - Benefits are decent

Cons

Promotions and career advancement are incredibly slow. I've only received one 3% raise in the 4.5 years I've been working here despite being up for a promotion for over a year and a half now and EOY reviews being nothing but positive feedback.
