Pros

- A year ago I would have given it 5/5 stars. -The benefits *were* amazing, but slowly changed (not for the better) -Unlimited PTO -Work from anywhere

Cons

-Highly underpaid -Only get promoted if you're "in" with the leadership -The reward for hard work is...more hard work -A ridiculous amount of micromanaging -Constant layoffs, nobody is "safe". You don't find out someone was let go until you see on LinkedIn or their email bounces. Some communication would be nice.... -Leadership has no idea how to run departments, and has to have their hands in everything so it seems like they're "busy" to try and save their butts from the next round of layoffs. -Very infrequent (if any) merit increases, and they're definitely not anywhere near what inflation is. -Opportunities to move departments, if you want a demotion.

Pros

Nice and hardworking people, cool projects and clients, a lot of good benefits

Cons

Terrible leadership and management, most of it is absolute chaos and since the Media Monks merger, feels like the whole company has been burning to the ground for the past year or so
