Pros

- There are some very talented and encouraging leaders among the management - Some incredibly smart and talented coworkers who make the job bearable

Cons

There is much that has gone wrong with the company in the last three years that it's difficult to put into words. It's been disappointing to watch how far the company has fallen, especially after having seen so much success in the early 2020s. Horrible decisions from upper management, unwillingness to change their ways to adapt to what paid media today, arrogance that leads to false promises, overwhelming low morale from layoffs, no bonuses/raises, secret promotions when we would be told there would be none - watching the spiral of OM has been a wildly painful experience. Given the current state of the agency, the outlook seems pretty bleak. I do not think it will last another year before they're fully absorbed into Empower.
