Pros
Lots of smart, creative employees.
Cons
I think this agency could be good in 10 - 20 years after a LOT of work. I say that because many of the staff members were very talented people and I think leadership means well. While I was at Kane, they struggled to nail down who they were and how they operated. It seemed like they cared more about the billable hour than the quality of the work produced. That alone is enough for me to advise against working here, but unfortunately the problems between staff members was the real kicker. I consistently overheard gossip about everything from attitudes, to leadership abilities, to competency. I gathered that these whispers and complaints were rarely brought to the person in question or said to their face, which often lead to an employee being labeled as incompetent and/or being blindsided by their supervisor. I should be clear in saying that this did not happen to me, but I witnessed it more than once and it made me incredibly uncomfortable knowing that this could happen to anyone. I felt like I was walking on eggshells. To make matters worse, there was a lot of pressure around appearance. It felt like I was on a runway whenever I stepped into the office. I have no problem with professional attire, but paired with the constant gossip and the company's value of looking like a good agency over performing like a good agency made it another con. I was always anxious about looking and acting "on brand" rather than being myself. Save yourself the trouble and don't work here.
