Pros

Amazing 'sense' of culture and unbelievably nice office space (assuming you like the open-office environment thing).

Cons

Unfortunately, the carefully curated culture and beautiful office space are designed to distract you from the realities of how POP works. It will take you just a few months to realize what you have signed up for. Over time you will discover a powerfully manipulative and incompetent leadership that us inexplicably guarded and regularly enabled by the CEO.

Pros

Beautiful downtown office. Culture is contagious and curated to be VERY happy.

Cons

Leadership has a tight reign on how things are managed, in a bad way. Their turn-over rate (which they don't like to talk about) is above 30%, indicating that about every three years, POP is made up of entirely new people, with the exception of the leadership. Just look at their executive team, many of them arriving without real industry experience and somehow enabled to stay in position despite significant evidence of mismanagement and being notorious for getting rid of people they simply don't like. It is also know that since POP was sold, they have been suffering form absentee-leadership from Bill who is more focused on his soccer team than truly managing what was previously his agency. Now being outside of POP, I know many previous clients who share that POP is suffering from too much turnover and struggling to deliver on projects. Not a good reputation in a place like Seattle.
