Pros

Talented and hardworking teams at the middle management and individual contributor levels. Flexible work arrangements depending on your department. Exposure to a broad range of clients and brands.

Cons

Executive leadership is largely disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Decisions are made without input from those closest to the work, resulting in confusion and misalignment. Frequent reorganizations and unclear strategy create instability and uncertainty for employees. Transparency is lacking — major changes are often communicated reactively or not at all. Leadership tends to prioritize cost-cutting and optics over long-term investment in people and infrastructure. Employee morale suffers due to the top-down culture and lack of trust in leadership direction.

Pros

Great company. Although laid off, we did get a severance package. Good PTO and flexibility.

Cons

I would suggest seeing if other positions within the company would be a good fit before laying off your good employees with no other options to keep them with the company.

Pros

There are pockets of talent and smarts on the creative side of the business, and I absolutely adored my immediate coworkers and my manager.

Cons

Senior leadership is an absolute mess. They will get us all together for these pep rallies, demand we “AMP IT UP”, then turn around and screw us mercilessly when it comes to raises, bonuses and job security. There is also quite a bit of platonic nepotism happening on the creative end of the business, with people who lend no real value to the work sitting at the very top of the creative pyramid solely because of their relationship to senior leaders. These people are being carried on the shoulders of their creative directors and ACDs, who are all criminally underpaid and under appreciated. With round after round of layoffs, no new wins, and leaders who demand high energy, long hours, and good attitudes at all times, I would strongly advise creatives to steer clear of this train wreck of an agency.
