Pros

I was at MBLM for a few years, enough to know what the company is like and having worked at other brand agencies, enough perspective to know what's good and bad. MBLM is a great place to cut your teeth, it's also home for many, who found their niche and seem happy there. There's lots of opportunity to learn and grow, many different projects and a pretty decent work/life balance. There are offices in different countries so you'll be meeting people from all over and working on brands from around the world. You'll also hear people talking in all different languages. I made some great friends. It's a small office, so you're expected to pull your weight and help where you can. I found I always had help when I needed it -- a partner to review my work and give constructive feedback. I liked that I was able to try many different things, including dealing with clients and working across many industries and learning from an industry pro. Some great company events (snowboarding), annual bonuses are notable. MBLM's Thought Leadership is also cool and they do a lot of impressive work on that front.

Cons

For me, after several years, it was more about wanting to try something new, somewhere new. Having now worked at bigger places, there's some definite pluses there, but-also more politics, bureaucracy and mediocrity than at MBLM.

Pros

Talented and diverse team. Friendly environment, good guidance for new employees, fairly transparent and open. Lots of room to grow. Exciting work for large companies, many of them B2B which can feel less visible, but with complex brand problems. Wide range of challenging work delivered for clients, from brand building and company naming to digital experiences and physical environments. Shared projects across offices in NYC, Dubai, Seoul, Toronto. Solid benefits for all employees.

Cons

Smaller team in an agency setting leads to some inefficiencies in working. Occasional frustrating clients, even at the large scale of companies worked on. Smaller boutique scale means some parts of the business can be quite at times and very busy at others. Some crunch projects sometimes require longer hours.
