Pros

Office location in NYC is in midtown next to central park. Great view.

Cons

Everything. I was hired to replace someone who had just been laid off that same week. It wasn't long before I realized most people either quit because the place is such a disaster, or get laid off because they aren't a member of the very small inner circle "frat club" aka upper management circle. Employee morale is the worst of anywhere I've worked. Management team is NY is disliked and not respected. There are no employees who have been in the NYC office for longer than two years with the exception of the people on the management team. Constantly changing business model and direction, very reactive management style due to rapidly declining revenue. No 401k, health insurance is super expensive. No tuition reimbursement.

Pros

- People.. most of them are smart - Spirit - Used to be leading in the Industry

Cons

-A typically USA company that doesn't know how to do business in Europe. Founders are not involved enough nor do they know how Europe works. -Online Advertising Dinosaurs... they used to dominate this industry. Lack of technology, strategy and flexibility will bring this company down. -People do not come first. The CEO and very senior management are not people persons.. they simply do not care and get rid of people without any emotion.
