Pros

Tech leads, seniors and technical directors are usually very active and cultivate a culture of learning. Whenever a problem arises, there's almost always someone there for you depending on how patient you are.

Cons

Work life balance is pretty bad, the PM would call at 10pm local time with no respect and wouldn't even apologize for the inconvenience.

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

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.
