Pros

In my tenure I survived four rounds of layoffs and managed to move up a few rungs on the ladder and advance my career. Health insurance was good, benefits like flex time off and maternity leave was also good. I was lucky with my managers and got some good people. Remote work was nice too.

Cons

Compensation is pretty terrible. It doesn't match your advancement either. Ten years and multiple promotions in I was 40% behind the market and they promised to match me to the market after x amount of time in a new role if I jumped through certain hoops. I did my part, they did not do theirs. The excuse was hiring freeze and budget (which is always the excuse for the years of missed/miniscule raises). So, I took my expertise and left for a new position. Lesson learned: don't stick around a place like this too long if you want to keep up with the economy, even if you like your work.

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.
