Pros

The client base is really interesting and wondeful to work with

Cons

-lack of communication and consideration for others causes constant issues across all teams. Critical changes are made and then not communicated -coworkers are superficially nice, but will quickly point fingers to avoid accountability at all levels. Very high school and stressful. -lack of diversity on all teams and especially in senior management -heavy emphasis on AI for products that are highly overpriced for such process -lack of results can make clients dusgruntled and there is a disconnect from what is sold to what is delivered -inexperienced leadership with lack of the understanding what it takes to drive the business -product changes are abundant and made without consideration, leadership doesn't train the teams or properly roll out changes -there is an interesting strategy in representing themselves as Forbes, often leaving authors very confused. This is Advantage Media at the end of the day, not Forbes.

Pros

Remote employees are offered good work/life balance, most of the time. Unlimited PTO was nice.

Cons

There's a lot that could be better. For starters, there's no accountability amongst most of the company. People constantly miss deadlines and blame others or get the few people that do the work to cover them. The leadership is always trying to pivot to new ideas without much thought. They're divesting heavily in human workers and doubling down on AI. There are so many leaders, but not enough people to do the work. The communication between managers is really bad and every team wants to pass work they should do on other teams. The culture is very high school to me. The popular kids don't do as much work and take credit for the ones who do. The leadership is incredibly disingenuous. They offer no transparency whatsoever.
