Pros

Located right downtown Toronto - very convenient.

Cons

Despite poor pay and a dismal office atmosphere, Thinkingbox has great employees. People who work here are genuinely talented and do great work. I have no idea why these people stick around or how the CEO keeps them employed. Speaking of the CEO... Be prepared to be treated slightly better than scum by the highly self-entitled CEO, Amir Sahba. In the time I was employed, he constantly made racist comments, referred to his employees as 'peasants', sent texts on my lunch 'WHERE ARE YOU?!', stalks employees on linkedin (I seriously have a profile view from him at least once a week...). If you're into being treated like dirt, he is the perfect employer for you. Amir is what killed the job for me - I couldn't stand working there any longer. My advise: look for a more established agency with a more vibrant and nurturing atmosphere. This company is still VERY MUCH a start-up. If you like that, then power to you! Just beware...

Pros

I came to Thinkingbox by way of a merger and my talents were immediately noticed. I was able to grow my career quickly and found a place that allowed me to take advantage of my strengths and build a stronger team. We have been able to grow our business with direct brands and it's been rewarding to do so. While growth comes with its own challenges and no company is perfect my time here has created a unique learning experience and a great opportunity for me to advance my career.

Cons

Connecting with teammates across offices can be tricky and the growth mentality can make it tricky to keep priorities straight.
