Pros
-- Extremely disciplined approach to project management -- Dotted i's and crossed t's when it comes to hiring, onboarding, benefits, etc. -- Smart, talented peers who are genuinely delightful and creative to the core -- Potential to learn a lot on the job if you're motivated -- Some quirky / interesting client work
Cons
-- Unprofessional passive-aggressive, avoidant leadership styles -- Unpredictable cruelty towards certain employees and rampant favoritism. Like someone else said, office politics galore -- Partners hold too much control over creative and were quick to tamp down on new ideas/avenues -- Little room for mistakes, but also little empathy for gaps in knowledge/experience -- Trigger-happy with hiring and firing -- Forced social events after work hours I knew I'd made a mistake accepting an offer at Thinkso when staff trickled into the first Monday meeting and it was like somebody had just died. Nobody said hello or looked excited to see a new face, let alone excited to be there in the smallest way. It's because new faces came and went like clockwork, and everyone was jaded. Take the job if you need it. It's really not the worst place to work. But have a backup plan in case things go south (which they probably will).
