Pros

Interesting work Good clients Some perks such as dental care etc can be reimbursed. Local teams and managers can be great

Cons

One of the worst responses to the covid crisis by the leadership. Employees being bullied to 'accept' pay cuts rather than being furloughed. No concern for mental health of employees, employees seen as a mass of workers rather than individuals by top leadership and execs.

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.
