Pros

If you're looking to work long hours with little recognition, this is the place. Some coworkers are friendly, but that’s more a reflection of shared misery than strong culture.

Cons

Extremely long hours that make work-life balance impossible. The culture rewards burnout, not productivity. Leadership openly acknowledges that people are overworked, yet does nothing to fix it. Just more talk, no action. 401(k) match is terrible and well below industry standards. Health insurance is weak and not competitive, especially considering the workload. Layoffs are cold and impersonal, with only two weeks’ severance, regardless of tenure or contributions. Upper management is more focused on squeezing profit than building a sustainable or supportive environment. Lack of real talent in leadership. There’s a lot of noise, a lot of meetings, but not a lot of deep thinking or strategic direction.

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.
