Pros

> Relatively flat structure > Nice employees > User-centered approach > Free snacks, beer, and beverages > Autonomy for the most part

Cons

> Lures talented people into the organization with promises of big salaries and responsibilities after brief trial period. They set unrealistic goals and even if you reach them they still won't deliver. > Management is absent and clueless. They're focused on becoming the next big agency but have no clear plan or vision on how to get there. > High turnover (excess of 5% of personal each month) > Bad HR and on-boarding ever. They literally throw you into the fire and watch you burn.

Pros

Nice, smart people, collaborative environment.

Cons

Jobs are very subject to market volatility. When brands don't make money, they often cut back on content.

Pros

Absolutely none. 0/10 would not recommend.

Cons

Weak leadership accountability, ineffective management oversight, poor communication, and a culture where issues were allowed to persist instead of being meaningfully addressed. Leadership was more ornamental than functional, with an emphasis on optics and messaging over employee advocacy, transparency, and effective decision-making. The layoff process was impersonal and reinforced many of the same structural issues employees had already been navigating internally.
