Pros

- lovely junior to mid level teams who are smart and dedicated - opportunity to work on big name clients - central location - amazing design team (totally different culture and vibe to the rest of the agency) - good holiday and benefits - HR very supportive

Cons

- unsupportive management - have no interest in emotionally or professionally supporting you - zero mentorship - no work life balance - it’s a sweat shop and there is no appreciation for working crazy hours- it’s expected - crazy deadlines, don’t respect that good work takes time - overwhelming anxiety filled environment, I know at least 5 people who went off work sick for extended periods because they were too exhausted and overworked, and people cried on the regular

Pros

Great place to work. Really loved the people and the environment. Thanks to a friend who got me the job.

Cons

I did think the place was a bit disorganized but for the most part I was happy that it was clean. I did not like the people
