Pros

Some employees experience a good work/life balance but this depends solely on your client/manager. The agency's leadership team is absent in fostering any form of office culture.

Cons

Constant layoffs, poor internal communication, new CEO has yet to share his vision for the company but continues to let 5-10 ppl go at least once a month since spring. No company culture, no professional development for junior talent, poor leadership and very soon, no clients (they continue to drop like flies and very little new business has been acquired under new CEO).

Pros

As with any company, you will find some seriously talented and well-meaning people who want to do good work. There are some strong big-name accounts you may have the opportunity to work on. If you like change and rolling with the punches, this could be a good company for you.

Cons

MERGE is no in a good financial place. The company has gone through several rounds of considerable lay-offs and now they are looking to trim around the edges. Executive leadership is overbloated making the organization very top heavy right now. All of these 'leaders' want to leave their mark and make changes, but there are so many that the folks doing the work can't keep up. Processes are always changing and we don't feel secure in our roles or in how revenue is being invested into the company.
