      Pros

      The culture is good. Interactions with coworkers was friendly and I felt comfortable. Work-life balance was pretty good.

      Cons

      The company changed quite a bit during the time I was there. It became more political and focused on processes, which detracted a lot from the work we were trying to do.

      Pros

      It is very unique experience to work there. I can manage a big brand name products.

      Cons

      Like all of advertisement agencies, the job is very busy and needed to work for long hours.
