Pros

So many talented creatives in the building - that is their sauce. Really cool office on the ocean of the PCH.

Cons

When you hire directors it is so so so important for them to be nice people. Approaches towards the lower members of the team at times feels really aggressive. There are a few wonderful leaders on the media team, but there is another branch that has some major work to do on approaches with their team and people overall. (Be careful who you work for here so be sure to ask about their management styles before you accept a role in media) Turnover is heavy here because of it and it puts people in positions to back fill for losing out on talent which puts everyone behind.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. It would have have been great to discuss your concerns about a toxic culture and the politics you seem to have experienced - two things we absolutely do not condone. We're glad you appreciate the office - however, it's been closed since March 2020 and only recently (June 2021) did we start to reopen for a small amount of employees each day. Hoping we can change that in the near future and welcome more of our team back into the space to enjoy the views, the amenities, and get back to working collaboratively in person.

Pros

The Many really tries to live its values (Optimism Wins, Open & Curious, Up For The Challenge, Passionate Without Ego) every single day, all damn day. Yeah, we're not perfect but we all really try, because those are the values we all believe in and want to live up to. It feels like a family here, maybe that goes back to the values, but we all are sort of in it together. It's flat and collaborative and people here are high performers. There's a TON of transparency, more than anywhere else I've worked. And there's no limit to where someone can go, if that person performs. Yes, the snacks are awesome. And the dogs are even more awesome. It's probably the happiest damn place I've ever worked, even when things get nuts (because this is advertising, after all). So I feel pretty lucky I get to walk in here, and work with these people, and they each inspire me in their own special way. Also, I really don't understand what this other reviewer from 9/8 is talking about because I'll be honest: I have never felt like my voice as a female is more heard and more valued in my entire career so far. We have almost 50% female leadership here. And none of these women would ever let another woman get shut down in a room, nor would any of the men here, for that matter. I also feel like, for this business, we are pretty doggone diverse and working to be more so all the time. I feel like that reviewer must have worked somewhere else because none of what that person said made sense.

Cons

Parking SUCKS. Like, really sucks. Also, it's advertising, so advertising can suck, too. If you're not a high performer, you won't survive. Sorry. I'd love it if the upstairs didn't get so hot.
