Pros

- still a relatively small team so your voice is heard and you get to know everyone you work with on a personal level - manages small start-up clients to big tech giants, really full-service marketing agency - CEO has many projects in the works as well as 2 podcasts so the company is a lot of exposure in the marketing world and is growing fast - very thorough interview process and very selective on who they hire so you are guaranteed everyone you work with is ambitious, a hard worker, and overall great person to be coworkers with - extremely invested in each individual regarding professional and personal growth (every Friday there is an online self-review form, performance reviews are quarterly, managers do a weekly 1-on-1 touchbase) - the mission and values are engrained into the culture so everyone has a common goal, no politics here - located in the heart of DTLA in a high rise building with stunning views - other perks: occasional happy hours/free lunches, Nintendo Switch, and kitchen is stocked with breakfast, tea, la croix, coffee, variety of snacks, fruit, etc - the best perk in my opinion is once you're fully trained and onboarded, you can work Thursdays/Fridays from home! even with this benefit, everyone works extremely hard to get things done

Cons

None that I can think of right now since any issues or feedback is openly accepted so any "cons" or problems are usually address and fixed.

Pros

You learn a lot here, often things you did not even realize you needed to learn. The environment moves very fast and you are exposed to many parts of the business, which forces you to grow quickly. You also work with very smart, capable people, which raises the bar and pushes you to think differently and improve your own skills. The company is very much in an AI-first phase, so everyone is expected to understand and use AI tools in their work. If you do not have AI experience, you will likely not be considered for a role. That said, there is still a lot to learn in this space and you pick up many new skills while working here because AI is integrated into many workflows and people are constantly experimenting and improving how they use it. If you enjoy problem solving, figuring things out as you go, and working in a high pressure environment with deadlines, it can be a great place to develop professionally. The skills you build here are very transferable and you can take what you learn and apply it almost anywhere you go.

Cons

The pace is not for everyone. It is definitely not a clock in clock out type of job. If you are looking for a simple 9 to 5 where you can do the same tasks every day without thinking too hard, this probably is not the right environment. Things move quickly and expectations are very high, which can feel intense if you prefer a slower or more predictable workflow.

Pros

Flexible environment with cool perks and benefits. Onboarding was great. The internal team was great to work with and I learned a lot in my time there.

Cons

Lacks overall direction - are we trying to grow the client base? Are we trying to grow with AI? Are we growing internal tools? I never really knew and often wondered if anymore clients coming on board because I never felt safe in the position no matter what I did. There is absolutely no internal processes BESIDES onboarding. After that, it's a whirlwind of all over the place. Feedback is direct, which is good at times. Other times, just saying "Use AI" might not be the answer.
