Pros

Fun, Innovative, Time Off, Razorfish culture/people (if you get the right team and project)

Cons

Serious higher level mis-management of projects at the SVP level resulting in millions lost. This will screw everyone on the lower ranks and result in a significant cut in the workforce. Loss of MAJOR accounts in all regions. Limited upward mobility so don't plan to make your career here Suck-ups are promoted and the hardest workers stay in the same place regardless of talent Mediocre Compensation, not competitive with current market trends Poor work-life balance and toxic work culture in a few of the offices Work-culture leaks into personal life and negates the professionalism of this organization

Pros

Amazing culture, at least in this office. Catered lunch twice a week, and constant events and treats and free snacks. Experience can be very balanced in terms of work/life. Great benefits, including generous PTO policy.

Cons

Broader company has poor strategy, and clearly doesn't know what to do with the workforce they have as AI lowers the client pipeline and rates. Roles are only plentiful in the US if you are in Product or Project Management, as other capabilities are being offshored to save client budgets, and/or are being collapsed so that employees must vibe-AI their way into competency. This leads to sapped morale and poor output at the client level. As the company has been struggling - and as promotions become less likely to be approved - some of the most passionate folks in the company have left for greener pastures, or have been unceremoniously pushed out. This in turn has led to a weakening of office culture. Your work experience can also be variable - depending on seasonality, client pipelines, and role, you could be so busy you don't have time to care for yourself or so bored you are feigning productivity. More than is normal at other consulting companies, the workloads seem incongruent with who's being hired or not.
