Pros

Creative energy, plenty of resources

Cons

Similar jobs are posted and reposted for each department on all job sites. Turnover is incredibly high. Expect a weekly meeting to explain all projects and histories of departments to a new person who was incorrectly told they are the first person being brought on to solve any standing issue and very incorrectly told that they'll be given an appropriate amount of access and power to solve it. Every shiny object and short term gain is chased by leadership. Success is inflated. Failure is swept under the rug. And teams are left wondering why they lose a vital limb every month. The culture is presented as collaborative and rock and roll, but this environment is more political than a New York agency. Coworkers utilize corridors and short private walks to discuss triangulation strategies to undermine managers or redirect projects. Within the first weeks of working I was shown the best routes for these arrangements, informed of after work drinking expectations and told not to trust anyone.
