There are still a few great people here. But outside of that, read the cons.

Black propeller used to be a great agency. A local, mid-sized agency that prided itself upon how they treated their employees and serviced their clients. Unfortunately I didn’t work there during those times. This was all until the agency was acquired by an Indian AI company, named Pixis. Pixis started by forcing their awful AI product into all of the clients ad campaigns and the result was terrible. The AI literally ruined so many campaigns that managers quietly removed the AI from the campaigns and Pixis already was planning their next product launch. The founder/CEO of Black Propeller stepped down in which a new CEO stepped in that let Pixis walk all over everyone and everything. From there, people were denied raises, denied promotions, were forced to offshore all account work to their team in India, and everything black propeller was known for, was gone. Pixis then went on to layoff half the company. The culture crumbled and then managers, department heads, directors, and coordinators began to leave every week. The agency now only has a few “OGs” left who are all awesome. The company is now fully ran by a couple people from Pixis who actually surprise everyone on how out of touch they are and how many simply bad business decisions they make. Do not be fooled by the pictures on the website. 75% of those people are gone. You will be forced to manage dozens of clients while relying on the offshore team to do the work.
