Pros

Everyone is great at scrambling due to operating in a state of chaos constantly. You'll trauma bond with a lot of cool people.

Cons

Executive leadership is disrespectful to employees and clients alike, because at the end of the day all they care about is personal gain. Employees are overworked and underpaid in a chaotic environment with poor direction, and the thanks they get from directors AND executive leadership is bad mouthing behind their backs. One example was a Teams chat between the CEO and SVPs, which was accidentally shared to several team members and exposed what they really say about us to one and other. The way they were talking about their employees in this chat going back YEARS was alarming and extremely unprofessional - and believe it, that toxicity just flows down from the top. There's a revolving door of employees for a reason. This company also preys on recent college grads who might not have the experience to recognize a toxic company from the outside. They use their "we do cool things" sales pitch and (bought) BBB awards to lure genuine talent in for less than market average pay, a different job than what they were hired for, lack of sustainable structure, and petty employer contribution to health insurance. Spoiler: They only implemented their hybrid/remote work option "perk" because an entire department was so underpaid they couldn't afford to pay for gas to drive into work AND pay utilities and protested the parity. Even knowing this extremely stressful situation that their lack of pay and health coverage was putting their employees in, leadership still didn't want to raise their wages because raising the cost of services "could mean losing clients." Clients should also be weary of working with this company. Executive leadership often over promises services and lacks the talent or structure to deliver quality work. Be sure to read your contract very, very carefully, and don't be surprised if they're oddly vague about deliverables or revenue share. They either don't know, or they're doing it on purpose. In summary, everyone should be cautious of this company. I would not let my worst enemy work here or with them. Even if you're reading this in a few years - guarantee it hasn't changed. They don't value feedback. Not just coming from me, but also from all the other employees who have been raising flags for the past decade. Don't believe their BS.

Pros

I really like my piers I work with.

Cons

Leadership does not care about employees. Managers do not get to know you or even care to, there is no training and onboarding is a mess. They preach company culture and work life balance with 34-36 hours a week, when in reality they fill your capacity to 40 hours+ and are only worried about checking tasks off for capacity and not quality of work. Their pay is not competitive and you can forget about getting a raise over 3%. In order to succeed here you have to be a “yes” person who agrees with everything from upper management and have no original ideas.

Pros

You will meet some really wonderful, fun people. There are genuinely very kind and talented individuals who work here. If you play it right, you can get entry level experience right out of college/career pivoting with a company that has a large consistent retainer client.

Cons

- Management over promises to clients and then leaves the teams to clean up their mess - There is *no*, and I mean *no*, consistent communication, often leaving for things to be done the day before or day of something being due. It is consistently the same people (a few managers and the Media Senior VP) who are guilty of this and don’t care that they make everyone’s lives hell. - Massive playing of favorites - Lack of balance in team size (content team and sports teams are waaaaay too large, while there are only a few designers, for example). - There’s no room to advance at this company. You can move laterally across teams, but management doesn’t move so neither will you - Pay is below industry standard and not reflective of the amount of work you will do (depending on your department)
