Pros

Unlimited FTO for the depts that are resourced well enough to use it.

Cons

Understaffed. Inappropriate “culture”; if you don’t drink you won’t fit in. Merit increases not based on reviews but favoritism. Lack of communication from leadership. No HR presence on leadership. Lack of DE&I presence in the agency AND the work.

It's a club, not a company

Pros

- Decent offices (SF is better) - Company outings and yearly retreat - Small shop, so lots of hand-raising if you want to branch out - Hard to be siloed - CEO & President are well-meaning and nice to work with - Pretty good work/life balance. Work stops around 5-6p and they are understandable with kids, etc

Cons

- Strong favoritism: if you're not liked as a person, you will be nit-picked going forward and on the chopping block for them to retain their margins - Toxic people retained in upper management and horrible cross-functional relationships - No forward movement with singular client keeping the lights on, and any wins are small and given to preferential account/creative leads - Near constant lay-offs (my estimate was ~30% employee turnover rate YoY)

Pros

Cool office in SF Competitive pay Annual company-wide retreats

Cons

Leadership lacks real vision for the company. A goal is spoken of, but actions taken contradict any actual opportunity in getting there. A lot of pitches - again, lacking direction, and rarely won Strategy and creative often at odds Favorites are played within the organization. Archaic priorities when it comes to media and where to activate
