Pros

Regular salary, deposited on time in the account.

Cons

Limiting work environment, no growth opportunities, brazen favoratism, undefined flows of communication, lack of transparent communication, whimsical policy changes by the HR. The managers do not encourage your career growth, instead get mad if you suggest that you want to aim for a better position in your company. I have not received an increment even after almost 2 years at the organisation. Infact, 6 months ago, the HR reduced our in-hand salary by first slyly adding a block of WFH allowance in our salary break-up which was not even there in the original salary break up that was given to us at the time of joining, and then reduced it without any scope of negotiation one fine day. So, in reality, my salary has decreased in the last 1.9 years here, whereas my workload has increased at least by triple! The ops! Uff the ops! They sleep for 1.5 years and suddenly wake up before the increment cycle to tell you everything that is wrong about your working style, taking ZERO accountability for their part of the problem. And somehow, they would manage to turn everything around and put it on you! Gaslighting, manipulation, even lying on your face. DO NOT JOIN!

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
