I have been working at HelloWorld full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Flexibility and laid-back atmosphere. Decent benefits and perks.
Cons
Lots of tech-debt on many platforms. Although flexible, work-life balance is a struggle here. Not really focused on professional development. Lots of office politics and favoritism. Since being acquired by Merkle and moving to Southfield the overall atmosphere and culture has eroded.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at HelloWorld full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Flexible schedule. Good PTO and paid holidays. Occasional keg of beer.
Cons
Even though its pretty flexible you can have to work extra hours w/o compensation and short notice. Very old technology and equipment. Office politics and cliques. Lack of management and direction. Management can be disconnected and alot of managers are not qualified or just don't care. No professional development. Most Project Managers lack technical skills or experience, creating a disconnect between the dev team and PMs. Not agile, though claim to be.

Pros
I've been here for almost 5 weeks now and it has been a breathe of fresh air. The interview process was smooth, and they really try and place you where they think you'll fit best and strive most. The culture is great and they are flexible when it comes to appointments, or any issues that could arise. So far it has been amazing!
Cons
None so far, all around been great.

Pros
Their new space is really amazing and super cool. The people are great.
Cons
If you work on the Coca Cola account, be prepared to feel locked away in your own world. Entirely separate floor and locked doors. Sterile, white environment.
