Pros

There are opportunities, if you're lucky you'll be awarded access to them. There are extremely talented people at your disposal. Most of them very busy but they're all a great bunch. AKQA has a very good portfolio, definitely one to have on your resume.

Cons

Easy to hit the ceiling in terms of carreer progression as it doesn't go very far in the Technology dept.

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.
