Pros

Big name clients, interesting projects in diverse technologies. Very design first oriented resulting in great app and web pages.

Cons

Stress induce of unachievable timelines and unreasonable pressure from management to achieve them. Toxic behavior from some of the golden people who if they don’t like you can make your life miserable. If they don’t achieve their imaginary revenue forecast you will you get terminated without a second thought.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
