Pros

- good learning opportunities - interesting work from different clients - good compensation in terms of salary and benefits

Cons

- loads of unnecessary meetings and working overtime, poor resource management - zero work life balance, late night emails that causes unnecessary anxiety - unfriendly and unprofessional environment, especially when it comes to topics around racism and other forms of discrimination - discriminatory comments from all levels of management made in passing or as a ‘joke’ - diversity and inclusion is just on paper, no actual training, robust implementation plan, or protections - just token hires - turn over rate is really high - hierarchy obsessed middle management

Pros

If you need a place to get a paycheck, then this is the place. They have always paid on time. Only some tax issues that I've heard about.

Cons

-No work life balance and getting worse. -Systems break often, and there is poor training (and no time to train) -Variety of work is nil- expect to test ads, and test ads, and test some more ads. -Complaining to management will only get you patronizing lectures about why you are wrong.
