Pros

It had a great culture . Smart people , great benefits and a very positive work environment. Catered lunches and well stocked fridge.

Cons

horrible management. Toxic and all the smart people are leaving the company. You cannot take away benefits. Its the first company I worked for which revoked a benefit.

Less than one month at Demand and laid off.

Pros

Free snacks, dog-friendly, free lunch on Fridays, unlimited time off (never got to use this). The people I worked with were wonderful.

Cons

The pay was okay at best. When it comes down to it, you're just a number. No amount of free food will matter when it's time to let you go. I moved my life to LA for this job, which I truly believed to be a big next step in my career, and in less than a month, we were told that the company was shutting down its efforts and that our jobs were "affected." Think that's bad? There was another person that started on MONDAY and were let go Tuesday. They had this person start in full knowledge that they were letting us go—and they, like myself, left another job to come here for a new future.

Pros

Dog Friendly, nice facilities and industry average pay/benefits.

Cons

Lack of morale and vision: I worked there when CEO, Richard Rosenblatt resigned with no real explanation. Soon after came the acquisition of Saatchi Art and their CEO Sean Moriarty, who is the current CEO of DM. The best way I can describe the new company moving into our offices is to compare it to a scene in the movie Apocalypto. Its the moment when their out in the jungle and encounter a group of indian refugees with a look of fear and one of them comes to Jaguar Paw in a dream and utters the word "RUN"
