Pros

Learned a lot and worked with some very smart people

Cons

Looking back on this, my experience at RPA was extremely unhealthy. Long hours, low pay, and a team that considered everything an emergency. Office gossip was also prevalent by everyone from assistants to directors. RPA tries too hard to have a "fun" culture by putting on courtyard happy hours every few weeks, but it's not enough to mask what actually goes on in the agency. Comparing my experience at RPA to my experience at my new agency, I'm surprised I don't have serious PTSD.

Pros

Amazing associates. Many people are passionate about what they are working on, and supportive of other team members. Some good clients to work with who actually care about the work we create.

Cons

Change in leadership has rocked the org. Struggling with identity and how to move forward. Poor communication regarding the change, little to no transparency on how to move forward. On top of all this, the agency has lost a handful of major clients over the last few years, leading to on-going layoffs and reductions. Those left behind worry if we are next. The work is starting to get overwhelming, yet we persist so we are not next on the layoff list.
