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.
