Pros

Good place to start a career and build up your resume

Cons

• Ever since Omnicom took over Flywheel, everything went straight downhill. • Zero growth opportunities. Promotions and reviews get pushed back 6–8 months. • They’ll suddenly dump a pointless 2-day course on you with no warning. • “Unlimited PTO” is a joke — try taking more than 3 weeks and you’ll get chewed out. • Layoffs and cutting contractors turned everything into chaos; nobody even knows how the systems work anymore. • Tech support is useless. If your MacBook breaks, expect to be bounced around from team to team with no help. • Management is a disaster. They don’t care about the people or the work environment. • The good talent already left, and whoever’s left is probably planning their exit.

Pros

There are still great, intelligent people here that you can learn from, but they are dwindling as the mass exodus continues.

Cons

Benefits: Omnicom has been slashing benefits left and right since the acquisition, effectively giving all legacy Flywheel employees a paycut. Employee healthcare costs went up 100%, employer HSA contributions got cut by 50%, unlimited PTO revoked, and 401K matching is no longer guaranteed and comes 7-8 months after the end of the year (if it even comes at all). Year-end compensation and performance reviews always get pushed back 4-6 months. Flywheel use to be an exciting and fun company to work for. That's all gone and now all that remains is an unrelenting workload that never ceases no matter how many nights and weekends you work. I wouldn't take a job here unless you're desperate.
