Seems great from the outside perspective, not great once you're in.

Pros

The people/teams I worked with on a daily basis are some of the best people I've worked with. Bonuses (most agencies I've worked for don't give out bonuses). The clients, for the most part, are great clients to work with.

Cons

Poor decision making that is left unexplained (or poorly explained by the leadership team). Often it leaves everyone else with more questions and a feeling of uncertainty. Several people walk away thinking "there is more to that" or "I don't believe their answer". Several dead ends when it came to growth and training. No clear direction for how to move up or develop. The employee is expected to figure it out, but even that gets pushback. Communication not clear - they recently changed their travel policy and didn't call out the big ones that we're all used to doing (such as being able to fly to the main office the day before - if we did it now, it would be on our own dime).

Good People. Poor Process.

Pros

Parking. Nice location and decor. Nice people. Okay pay.

Cons

Work seems to be reactionary and not planned. No longer using project managers. Who is monitoring and controlling project schedules? Need it NOW brainset does not necessarily create the best work. Projects return a month or more later which means it really wasn't needed NOW. Top heavy with VPs and Managers that don't really manage. Poor process.

Not bad, lack direction

Pros

Fun company culture. Beer bike on Fridays, great holiday party, annual summer party. Fairly flexible work hours - there are people who come in at 8 and leave at 4 (or 5) and those who come in at 9 and leave at 5 (well, 6, let's be real). Generally people aren't breathing down your neck and micromanaging. Some good people to work with. Almost always free food around, which is both a pro and a con. Free parking pot in Ramp C, convenient for other downtown activities.

Cons

Management doesn't seem to have a clear sense of direction. Disconnect between managers of empolyees and the management team. Managers don't seem to know how to manage, or are too busy to do so. Professional development seems to supported very haphazardly. It's every man for himself. Work/life balance isn't bad for some, but those who seem to have none of it and work 12 hours a day are the most rewarded and praised. PR is not really integrated well. They know and have been trying to fix it, but it's still not there. The health insurance had been drastically changed when I was there and is not very good now. Bonuses exist, but the structure is not communicated so you have no idea what it might be.
