Pros

Nice digs, fellow employees are mostly nice and mostly talented. Senior Management tries to make it nice by throwing parties, etc., but as other reviewers have stated, they are mercurial and mistakes are never forgiven.

Cons

Work life balance gets a lot talk as most people are out the door by 6pm, but most people are also logged back in and working late from home. As someone else stated, the Management team is perfect for an an agency a third their size. They simply don't have the chops for a medium size agency. Having evolved from a video production background, the agency places too much emphasis on "fast and cheap", and little on "good" -- much less great. Not a great place for Account Services -- no support, and even less training/mentoring. Just as bad for Creative -- which seems to get the blame for every snafu -- large and small.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re disappointed that your experience here isn’t/wasn’t in line with our goal of being a great place to work, we always value transparency and open communication and appreciate your candor. The past two years have been both an exciting and challenging period of growth. We’ve been lucky to add so many talented folks to our team but have felt some growing pains along the way. Fortunately, it’s in our DNA to look for opportunities to improve and build on our strong culture. Currently, we’re rolling out robust training and mentoring programs at all levels—including the Senior Management team. Also, we’ll continue our open door policy and encourage feedback about what our employees need. Last month during our Town Hall we launched “Ask Me Anything,” an open session with the Partners; the feedback was positive and as a result, we’re hosting the meeting on a regular basis. As we move into this exciting new phase of DiD’s history, we feel confident that we’re headed in the right direction and are set up to thrive. Thanks again for your feedback; our door is always open if you’d like to continue the conversation.
