A facade. Don't be fooled.

Pros

· Competitive pay + benefits · Generally known agency with big brands · Summer Fridays · Snacks, Drinks, etc. · Laidback people

Cons

· Yet another corporate agency which looks cool on the exterior · Boring, uninspiring projects initially fluffed up to excite you. Ultimately, you'll end up doing production worked packaged as design · No overall company mission or purpose · Diminutive, flimsy design culture · Siloed, self-contained teams · CD micro-managing runs rampant. More often than not, reviews result in Do-As-I-Say critiques vs open, collaborative discussions—easy to feel disposable and like another cog in a machine · No room for growth and personal development · Company preaches inclusion, yet 95% of employees, and more importantly, upper-management, are Non-POC. Arbitrary, agency-wide meetings to remedy this are nothing more than virtue signaling

Pros

Big Clients that look great for your resume Decent Pay

Cons

Zero Culture - No one talks to each other, everyone gets lunch by themselves, the office is quiet . Soul Sucking Work - Most of the time you'll be working on a subsection of the product. Average Benefits - You get 14 PTO days, pay for insurance No Diversity or Minorities - When I was there, it was 90% white.

Pros

Used to have some potential. Might go under in the next 18 months or so.

Cons

Over my handful of years at Elephant, I went from working alongside the most talented people in the industry on the most respected brands in the world to working with the most unqualified people on some of the most hated brands in the world. There are a small number of good people left who seem to think they need to stay there because of the visa they’re on. They all speak openly about leaving as soon as their situation is sorted so they won’t be around for long.
