Pros

Office is beautiful. Still a great name on your resume but not sure how long that will last...

Cons

Politically driven hacks lead the company. They don’t know how to clean house, letting poor performing individuals stay on because they have personal relationships with selective leaders. They themselves lack craft and experience. The client services are the worst, producers have no real skills, and people are getting promoted based on favoritism not craft. The company is trying to be everything but they’ve lost what they were really amazing at - design and tech. And all their talk about “business transformation” is a hack because no c-suite wants to work with them on the long run, they’re all project based. When you can’t make an effective change, clients won’t trust you to do business with them. If you’re curious what the employees are saying, go to Fishbowl and read some threads (if they haven’t been deleted by the company) about how unhappy people are and unstable the business is... It’s going to take a long time for them to rebuild their credibility. Anyone on the inside of the industry knows how dysfunctional they are at the moment. The work is no longer great because all the great talent walked out on their own.

High profile accounts and clients and a focus on digital transformation.

Hands down, the worst experience I've ever had. Not the whole company, but the way I was treated was unacceptable.
