Pros

It's a decent place to learn from talented people, but never a place you'd want to stay long-term unless you're highly compensated, into heavy drinking/peer pressure, close buddies with CEO or want to see employees constantly leaving.

Cons

For an organization filled with almost exclusively professionals, the turnover is quite high. Many coworkers reported being afraid to talk to the CEO- unsurprising, given how big his ego is. Although they claim to have unlimited PTO, you have to watch your back- best believe you may be punished for using "more than expected". Rumors have arisen of employees being spoken to or fired for taking excessive time... but I thought it was unlimited...??? This company is constantly hiring Directors, AVP's and VP's- spending hundreds of thousand of dollars that don't contribute to production in any capacity. These individuals look great on paper (and are believed to bring in new business), but continue to shovel the workload onto the lower-level employees. Individuals in production based roles aren't paid enough for the work they do, burnout and as a result seek employment elsewhere. One interesting find: the HR team itself has seen a lot of turnover in recent times- which begs the question: what were they exposed to, that resulted in their desire to leave? I'd surely like to know. Quarterly Town Halls are alcohol-driven social gatherings- if you don't drink, I guarantee you'll be VERY uncomfortable when your peers pressure you to do so (including senior leadership). Also, if you're a person of color- just be aware that they do NOT care about DEI. Efforts in the past have been made to create an initiative and were shut down by senior leadership.

While everyone is entitled to their opinion, As the CFO of the organization, I am shocked by the comments in this posting which includes wildly inaccurate information and feel it is appropriate to address each of these statements. Most of this information is shared during quarterly employee town halls where employees also have the opportunity to ask questions. - As a cross-functional leader, I have never witnessed or participated in any gathering where senior leadership criticized the CEO. All meetings were centered on improving performance and ensuring the best outcome for our clients. As a side note, the company does not have a Chief Technology Officer (CTO). - The CEO has always encouraged the agency to share feedback on its proprietary, innovative AI based productivity platform. Since its 2024 launch, revenue productivity improved by 28%, reduced credits by 99%, reduced project admin budget by 30% - metrics most consider extraordinarily successful. - The client retention rate is consistently over 95%, so the client dissatisfaction comments are inaccurate. The company regularly receives positive feedback about the quality of the work performed which continues to motivate and engage the teams. - I believe the company has a very competitive renumeration program which provides compensation aligning with current market conditions. - All successful businesses should conduct regular performance reviews to evaluate and support their staff. In cases where employees have not been successful in their role, it has resulted in a termination. Severance packages that are consistent with our industry, have been offered. The company is making strides to implement various people-focused practices and tools to upgrade its talent pool and support current employees. - Finally, the company continues to make significant capital investments to fuel stable, consistent and profitable growth, including ERP, CRM systems (Oracle’s NetSuite), HR platforms and developing internal expertise for its new AI Practice area. While we welcome feedback from current and former employees, we also want factual information to be available to both existing employees and potential candidates.

Pros

The agency does a great job balancing high-quality work with a supportive, collaborative culture. Leadership is accessible and transparent, and there’s a genuine emphasis on professional growth. You’re given real responsibility early on, which creates strong learning opportunities across strategy, creative, and execution. The client work is engaging and often complex, which keeps things interesting and pushes you to think critically. Teams are smart, motivated, and willing to help each other out, which makes a big difference day to day. There’s also a clear investment in improving processes, training, and evolving the business, rather than staying stagnant.

Cons

Like most agencies, timelines can be tight and priorities can shift quickly, which can create pressure during busy periods. However when the going gets tough, the tough get going :)
