Great fun when I was there, definitely one of the better agencies
Cons
most of the people I knew who left the business had some terrible experience upon exit. like not paying notice, super or having to pay back a learning and development thing.

I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you have any additional feedback please feel free to contact me anytime at ro@aquent.com / 323.370.6725 . Thank you!
Lack of transperancy, job placement wages stagnant for over 5 years with no raise, after finishing multiple contracts and bringing them thousands of dollars with my labor, no follow up on new positions. Finally contacted me about one position I would be perfect for then ghosted me. Blatant ageism using words like "junior" or "great position for recent grad". Had one horrific experience with them where they reached out to me to work on a team that loved me/loved my work - when I inquired if there was any flexibility in the pay, was suddenly told I wasn't qualified. Then I see the same listing reposted as "junior" and great for a recent grad.
