Pros

Very smart and friendly people

Cons

Suddenly laid off 40% in Los Angeles without regard on the health and welfare of the people who are left behind to tackle all the work. Clients are charged premium for a few automated reports, yet jobs end up loss-making work because of too many CEOs with salaries equated into each project. The people who are actually working on the projects are only allocated/allowed to bill a few hours a week to make the projects look profitable. So in the books they look under utilized and eventually unfairly let go when in reality those people worked very long hours too like everyone else.

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.
