Pros

They'll offer you (or anyone) a job!

Cons

The mess comes from the top – CEO is fully delusional and the entire company is forced to live in a constant state of reaction to whatever she is feeling at any moment. She is not smart, at best she is a con artist. Any clients they win must come from straight up lying or being the "agency" willing to do the work for the cheapest amount of money. The consistent client work they do have are the most boring projects known to man and are NOT being bragged about in any interview setting. While the source of the chaos points to one person, the blame should also be placed on the "leadership" team enabling the CEO. They are equally as bad at their jobs or simply trauma bonded to this place, since any semi-established person with an ounce of self worth would run far away from wasting away any sort of career here. Ultimately, it is sort of a fake company. Nobody will know it once you go in and nobody will know it once you leave. What you do there will never matter. Potential intern/early career employees, please listen to me: I cannot imagine a more harmful place to work. Don't do it. Wait the extra month, apply to the extra few jobs. They may promise you the moon but I promise you'll end up being humiliated by the CEO while doing the work of several jobs. Sure, you might have the opportunity to "learn" a lot, but you will learn how to do things on your own– messily, quickly and WRONG– and later need to unlearn them when you work at a real company. I shouldn't save this for last, but the "diversity" aspect of this company is probably the biggest grift of them all. The CEO could not care less about anything that has to do with DEI unless it is making her money or helping her be perceived as the most important LGB (forget about the TQIA, she does) white woman in NYC (where she is not even close to being on the shortlist...) I firsthand heard some of the most homophobic, racist, classist things I've ever heard at work come out of her mouth on an extremely consistent basis– including suggesting the company intentionally deceive clients about the sexual orientation of the predominately heterosexual staff at the time. I'm embarrassed to have ever given this place a minute of my time and if you are reading this while interviewing, please take this as your sign to look elsewhere.

Pros

Great creative work. Fine high quality team members.

Cons

Abusive Business Owner. Mercurial. Derogatory. Demeaning. Super high turn around as a result. Never worth having a business owner abuse staff regularly and in front of the entire team.
