Pros

Best in class when it comes to datadriven conversations and projects. I learned a lot during my time.

Cons

Management did not really know what they were doing in terms of managing teams. Smart people in general but the lack of leadership was noticable. There is no such thing as work life balance. Forget trying to finish your work day in time and meet up with friends. There is of course always something to do (which applies to many jobs) but there is no understanding that it's impossible to be available all the time. The expectation of putting work first is insane. Covid put so much pressure on the teams. I don't think anyone actually feels well.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
