Pros
Having pets at the office is great. The office space is trendy and comfortable. If you are lucky to work in one of the cool accounts, you will work on challenging and interesting projects. If not, prepare for soul-grinding meaningless work. Some great perks and benefits. Coworkers are lovely.
Cons
Upper management does not actively study, research nor dominate the media, marketing, technology nor encompassing landscapes. The executions are smoke and mirrors with a dash of outdated practical experience. The company was sold to an awkward macho man posse of self-proclaimed risk-takers and know-it-alls, with one or two exceptions. The condescending attitudes are laughable. Just have a meaningful conversation with each and easily validate this, don't take my word for it. The lower management and regular employees have to pick up the tab for the lack of insights, and will not be rewarded or valued accordingly. They value talent as much as they valued the free snacks, lunch and breakfast perks (they are gone). Yes, they can produce some pretty graphic design, cool videos, and some clever ideas, but that's it. It all lands flat in the ROI. Notice that the significant case studies are from the previous management, and probably old. There's no technical or engineering power in the company after they fired their award-winning technology team in its entirety. Account "Planning" meetings are very tedious and there's a constant pressure of "where's the money". Sell, sell, sell! Salaries are non-competitive unless you are mid to upper management. Employee turnaround is extremely high. Speaks for itself. The open space office space can be uncomfortable. Upper management is always watching!
