Pros

Great time to be a part of this company. Great growth potential, and good leadership. Good benefits, good communication with management for the most part. Decent training programs, and pretty exciting learning curves. Recent acquisitions of Compete and Cymfony are encouraging, and formation of TNS media helps too.

Cons

Salaries are not very competitive for anyone but management. Many of the managers including CEO live out of another city and are rarely in the office, which could be a benefit to some... Company claims to encourage lateral job movement, but unclear how easy that process really is.

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.
