Pros

interesting account cool ideas (nike) looks good in the resume

Cons

People are not friendly and out going. (london) Zero client management practices, nike gets what they want. Deck decks and more decks pdx office has no mission vision purpose, so people have their own agendas outdated processes and lack of role definition account people say, and do want they want at all costs and expense of the team Production house The norm is 7-8pm poor tools, i.e staffing, project management and developer tools no vibe just grind.

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.
