Pros

There are so many great, talented and fun people. Yamamoto is good at hiring smart people who get along well and work hard. The coworker culture is strong, in person and remote. Almost everyone cares about the craft, and the creative work reflects that. It’s small enough that people can work in a variety of disciplines.

Cons

Consistent understaffing/overworked employees. Pleasing the parent company and making numbers are more important than employees having a decent work/life balance, and valid concerns are dismissed depending on the person raising them.

Fantastic agency! Tons of client challenges to help solve and deliver great results. Leadership is competent and experienced. Would highly recommend!

Nothing really. Agency life is busy. It's called "work".

Pros

Competitive pay to start. Generous time off.

Cons

Expectations are not aligned with the reality of your job. I continually advocated for appropriately adding staff to the team based on clients' agreed-upon management fees. Its hard to say if the lack of action was intentional or otherwise.
