Pros
- Typical agency perks: Free snacks, catered lunch, weekly happy hour, casual dress, summer hours - Different industries as clients for industry exposure - Fair work life balance, depending on the client/project - They’ll give you a lot of responsibility if you want to gain experience
Cons
- You’ll have to figure most things out yourself, processes are inconsistent between offices and even people in the same office - Business development tries to sell clients on projects we have no expertise in (if we win, we have to frantically hire someone or figure it out) - Organization is trying to find its niche, but we don’t often win deals - Some projects involve offshore - meaning 8 or 9am meetings - leadership team/culture has room for improvement: office politics/bureaucracy and high focus on bottom line does not result in a fun/motivating place to work (leading to turnover and lower productivity) - organization should focus on training to keep up with technology trends, best practices, etc
