Pros

The environment was fun and the culture was great.

Cons

There isn't a whole lot of room for advancements unless you know the right people. Company politics are an issue as well.

Great management and culture. People are friendly, I lactually look forward to seeing my coworkers. Facility amenities include daily snacks, gym and dedicated garage.

Cons

Not great on benefits, the premiums can be fairly expensive compared other digital agencies. Some people in management micromanages the team.

Pros

- G/O had a great ride for the first 3 years I was with the company. A scrappy (in a good way) type of company that had employees who fought to do right for clients and internal teams members. This period has passed...

Cons

- Upper management are narcissistic dinosaurs. They all should be fired, starting with the CEO, Tim Fagan. He is largely responsible for destroying what G/O once was. It's criminal that he wasn't fired years ago. Calling him incompetent is being too generous. VPs are just as bad. - What remains of my former middle management coworkers is overwhelmingly a group of backstabbing morons. Most have no real skills or talent to offer and are in the position they are in now because they play dirty and only value meaningless titles and a bit of power. They are baby clones of the type of people in upper management roles. I'm truly thankful I escaped.
