Pros

People - Good teams and friendly people. Pet friendly. Flexible work schedule. No dress code. Slurpee machine. Basically all the little things that don't really matter in your career but help you get through the day. Big brands so it looks good on a resume, especially if you are on the account side. Good opportunity for title increases - but salary increase do not match (see below).

Cons

Tough deadlines - emphasis on getting work done on time, not getting work done right. Very little forecasting so 90% of projects are reacted to rather than planned ahead for. Team structures are not built properly. Some teams are very top heavy, some are very bottom heavy. There needs to be a better spread of thinkers vs. workers. Feels like much of account service has mentality that they work for the client rather than for imc2. Very little portfolio quality creative opportunities outside of new business pitches - resume looks good, portfolio book = not so much. Salary increases are not aligned with promotion title increases. If you are promoted from within you are given a raise based on your previous salary (usually 10%) rather than the salary range that new employees for the same position are offered. So if you are coming in and plan to stay longer than 1 year, ask for a larger salary than you would normally or you will end up underpaid once you've earned and received a promotion.

Pros

Decent benefits. Good interior design. Decent out of office policy.

Cons

Unstable work environment with leadership that operates on the whim of the week (decentralize in groups, reform in teams, fire nearly 1 in 5 people). Certain disciplines are stretched so thin on some accounts, while others are idle. The company sells a great culture, work environment, and innovative work, but delivers on none of those any more. There is a culture is now just fear of when the next layoff will occur, and the company spends way too much time thinking about recycling and carpooling instead of fixing the delivery issues.

Pros

There once was decent talent at the company, but the leadership has managed to run them all off.

Cons

The leadership...or lack thereof. The current President and COO are a problem. Neither exhibit strong leadership skills. The President is an absentee leader: spends more time taking cigarette breaks than running the company. He spends the company money traveling to visit clients and then falls asleep in client meetings. He is not true to his word. He makes promises that he doesn't keep. The COO has neither the experience nor the social skills to be successful in his role. He takes credit for things he didn't do. He shares inappropriate information with employees. He is untrustworthy. I have yet to meet any employee, current or past, even likes much less respects the COO. He is arrogant, unprofessional and unethical.
