Pros

If you're straight out of college, you can learn a thing or two about Powerpoint and Excel. Working at MaPS will also give entry level employees a better idea of what they want from an employer and what they want from a career. Plus, there are a lot of young people working here, so you may meet some interesting co-workers.

Cons

MaPS has some of the highest turnover of any company I have seen. Hours are long, the work is awfully tedious, and management tends to be opaque and generally not very much fun to be around. Expect to be in the office for 70% of your waking life and expect to see your friends from the office either quit or get laid off.

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
