Pros

-you get to work with a diverse list of clients in media and CPG, which can be impressive on resume -flexibility in working from home/time off if planned for ahead of time -young people who are friendly -clear path in career progession

Cons

-expect to work long hours as an analyst/snr analyst/assoc. manager -stressful and ridiculous expectations in terms of workload, at times -low pay given the amount of hours spent doing work -little to no bonus (if you are junior, expect at most 5% of your salary) -poor work/life balance -poor benefits package -bad office locations -big learning curve so you are only independent and functional after 6-8 months -you can get burnt out quickly due to workload -turnover rate is high and happens often, which leaves the people left behind in a poor position to carry the workload. new hires also aren't useful/functional so it's a constant catching up process with people coming, staying 1-2 years, then leaving

Pros

It's pretty grim outlook currently

Cons

Since the company went private they've been slashing jobs for the sake of profit dividends to the equity firms. One could argue last year, a majority of the layoffs made a certain sense. They seem targeted to streamline and clean up bloat in the organization. There were two major layoffs in 2023. In 2024 there is dozens being let go weekly. These are affecting all major verticals and seems targeted to increase "profits" at all costs, which in this case, by removing staff, freezing salary increases and slashing all bonuses. The CEO was in a recent global meeting openly saying " If you want a raise, get a promotion"
