Pros

If you’re young and looking to get into the thick of it with a decent roster of client roster, Thesis is a meh agency to cut your teeth. They have a well-packaged offering for production design and for email campaigns.

Cons

Not a good fit for experienced talent. Overall, you’ll get to work with some pretty insecure leadership who can’t settle into what they’re best at as an agency. There is virtually no business development. Many of the middle management have barely worked anywhere else and will not take kindly to your experience if it threatens their own (ego). So - there’s no room for growth in management from within. They’ll hire from the outside. Probably because the outsider isn’t aware of the Kult-like leadership.
