Pros

1. Excellent IT department with good IT guye and profetional equipment for work

Cons

1. Poor work culture for experienced designers. 2. Tasks outside the designer’s responsibilities, such as creating PPTs, attending meaningless internal trainings, and participating in time-consuming group calls. 3. Neglectful behavior from the HR team. 4. Worst client servicing 5. The art director and team lead come from completely different backgrounds with zero knowledge of art, which is unusual. 6. Heavy workload on weekends. 7. No bonus policies for junior employees.Bonuses are given to preferred employees while neglected ones are overlooked. This is shameful, and their explanations are even more disgraceful.

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
