Pros

Great teammates and a fun environment. Great clients, does a great job at ensuring everyone maintains a healthy work-life balance.

Cons

HR only insulates and supports leadership and didn't secure the salary info of the entire staff in the SF branch. Nepotism in middle management hirings. Some employees are promoted to leadership roles despite having a known and HR documented reputation for making very unprofessional, prejudiced remarks to other employees. Not a lot of opportunity for growth. The culture can be cliquey to a fault sometimes. Low level drama resulting in lots of trash talking behind other people's backs.

Pros

**Applies to the SF office** Free kitchen food The work is easy You will never stay late Office is in SOMA

Cons

Lack of leadership Inexperienced SF management The work is lacking creatively No office structure London HR is controlling One London director is impossible to work/communicate with The SF office is in a transitional phase so there are still a lot of kinks to work out but the main issue here is the lack of true leadership coming from the London office. The SF office is being led by inexperienced management that think they know how to run an agency. As good as the intentions are, there is a lot more damage being done than being fixed. London would see the issue if they had more of a presence in this office. It sends a message to the employees currently working here that they don't really care what happens within their own company when the people left in charge are able take advantage of their position.
