Pros

Nice office, once a week morning breakfast, every other Thursday party evening. Nice location

Cons

Since two of the major senior executies left AKQA NY few months ago, things have changed. New management does not know how to run an Agency in NY. Lots of politics, people are trying to save their jobs. Run away...

Pros

Design and Strategy teams on the west coast in 2021-2023 incredibly smart and strong in their craft. Overall it is hard not to be impressed with the output and some of what the brand can produce

Cons

NY and DC teams were unpleasant. Competitive fearful vibe compared to other creative and tech industries I have been in. My guess is because everything is based on what accounts and projects they can capture and during this time tech accounts were pulling out of further business as their markets slowed. WPP (the parent company) began lay offs and shuttered whole agencies exasperating this.
