Pros

- Flexibility: Some flexibility to work fully remote, hybrid and/or in office. - Resume Building: Can gain resume experience for more competitive opportunities at similar companies.

Cons

- Criminal Charges: Executives and management charged with violating the anti-monopoly law including the President and CEO. Expected indictments soon. This says a lot about how this organization is run from the top down. As a result, global branding is ruined. - Ruthless and Secretive Leadership: Ruthless mass layoffs have taken place with more coming on the horizon. Secretly finalized layoff plans during early pandemic in backdoor meetings. Started pulling the rug on employees almost a year later with little to no notice. Will continue layoffs in 2023 and beyond as the economy and core business model changes. Those at all levels of the organization will eventually be replaced (including top leadership) as the workforce moves abroad. Those who are currently employed are secretly being used to help transition themselves to their own demise; unemployment. - No Culture: Unfortunately, there is no culture. - Below Average Pay: The salary is below the industry average. You can get a higher salary at a more reputable and stable company.

Pros

Great place to learn if you're new and on the good account. Team can be very supportive of your growth and push you to excel where you want.

Cons

Currently on a horrible client that demands fast turn-around times. Management doesn't push back and allows rushed or last minute launches with vague or incomplete specs, budgets, creatives. Very burnt out and not learning anything at the moment. Constantly just launching campaigns with no idea how they are performing. Promised many times that promotions were coming but been hanging on for literal years. Haven't moved up once. Pay is a bit low. My pay is a result of state laws that require a minimum to be met. Haven't had an actual pay increase that was directly tied to the work i was doing.
