Pros

Ran away far away from MB Vermeer.

Cons

It is funny that a "branding" company can't build its own brand and take care of reputatition. First of all, look at the reviews: the recent were obviously written by hr and pr people. Management plays favorites. High employee turn over rate - employees leave within 5-8 months. a lot of gossiping, favoritism. Rewards the wrong behavior and people. Don't respect to CEO Mario Simon and key NY partners after witnessing the way they treated some employees.

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
