Pros

Work on some really amazing projects, great culture, and there tend to be a few awesome people to surround yourself with. The perks of the agency tend to make you want to stick around. If you yes Michael enough, he will reward you with free stuff!

Cons

Ran by in every true send of the word, a dictator. They even define his outbursts by the word "Blatterizing." Mirrorball has no true vision or long term goals. Everyone is scared to oppose Michael, hence why he thinks he is friends with everyone.

Pros

Good Talent once worked there

Cons

I left mirrorball a few months ago, it took a while to digest just how toxic the environment was. Instead of fostering and nurturing talent, the CEO bred a very contentious work place driven by ego and mean spiritedness. He spoke negatively about everyone that worked for him. He inserted himself in every aspect of a project, derailing and ruining relationships with vendors and clients. He inserts his “25 years of industry knowledge” to “prove” he understands what he’s doing, but ends up spending 10x more the amount bc he’s clueless, then blames everyone around him for his careless spending. What once use to be a successful and impressive 80 person agency is down to a pathetic grouping of 3-4 staffers. The CEO has single handedly dismantled his own agency, alienating many great talent that once use to walk through the doors when the agency was run by real leaders. Any recent positive reviews you see here, are not legitimate, he has paid a girl to write positive reviews and has badgered Glassdoor to remove negative ones. This man is a total hack and has one of the worst reputations in the industry. Do not work or do business with this man.

Great place to do exciting work, but not to stay

Pros

Really great and talented co-workers. Dog-friendly office, beautiful roof deck, quite a few other fun perks. You'll work on really challenging projects with very motivated colleagues- slackers won't last long here- and you'll get to participate in a broad range of work which gives you very valuable experience that you won't get at many similar agencies.

Cons

Management's leadership is poor and inconsistent. Salaries trend below industry average; don't expect much in the way of raises.
