Painfully disorganized, protracted, unfocused, and completely pathetic with numerous starts and stops over multiple months. It was surprising to have such an exceptionally substandard experience given the individuals engaged are part of their executive team and SHOULD know better how to run such a business. Sadly I know other former colleagues who briefly worked for Aquent on a customer contract engagement, and their experiences - although different given the nature of the contract role vs. and in-house one - still have the same thematics: Ridiculously poor communications with contract workers and/or candidates, chaotic bumblings, no respect for your time as a creative professional, and illogical processes just to call out a few of the more systemic issues. How this so called creative outsourcing chop shop is still even around is completely baffling.
