Pros

Work dynamic and peers. Very good collaboration among peers and constructive criticism and ownership culture.

Cons

The company is going through a rough patch and their bench policy is very unforgiving. If your current engagement ends and nothing new comes up, you get a minimal bench period for them to find a new engagement for you, or else you're out. This is even if your capabilities are more than enough to stay at the company, so this is almost completely out of your control. In my opinion, waiting for work every few months or else you're laid off is not worth the stress. Layoffs are constant, and leadership is more focused on chasing the next buzzword (AI) than trying to treat workers as people. Do not work here expecting to grow.

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.
