Pros

Fast learning in e-commerce because you will be thrown in the deep end from day 1. Big clients because of omnicom (many of which are at the risk of churn/ losing defensive RFPs)

Cons

You either sink or swim. If you sink with the overloaded workload stretching across too many workstreams / accounts. It's your fault. If you swim, you will be rewarded with more work and no compensation or growth. All good folks have already left or are planning their exits across all offices and management is delusional. Everyone is saving their own backside.

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.
