Pros

Working with some of the best brands alongside talented art directors, account directors and engineers. Proud of the work we did and the positive client relationships.

Cons

Creative proposals were second to none, however the software proposals were consistently problematic, and therefore there were unhappy clients. Competing ecommerce programs developed quickly and left CTG offerings in the dust. For clients to compete to the latest important evolution in customer expectation, enormous additional costs were proposed. Those that did pay for constant upgrades frequently complained 'you sold us the dream, but delivered the nightmare'. All in all, it felt like a business plan to take advantage of sleepy fashion and luxury brands and senior management that were unable to admit how rapidly the client requirements had exceeded the agency technical capabilities.

Pros

Brilliant employees, compassionate partners, strong SEO and Search teams with solid client following. Laid-back office environment, Apple or PC equipement provided depending on your preference. Free and unlimited snacks and beverages. Everyone is your friend. Extremely supportive of personal growth in or outside of the agency. CEOs are absolutely wonderful, approachable, and caring. Unique and unlike any other agency. Learning is abundant and endless. A great stepping stone either to start a career or to come to from a larger agency if you're looking for a more laid-back and casual environment.

Cons

Promotions happen quickly here, but this in turn yeilds very young upper management as a result. Some of them, although technically excellent at their job, are still too young to know how to manage a team without letting emotions get in the way, the environment can in turn become stressful depending on the situation. The good thing is that upper management is willing to resolve issues if and when addressed, it's just that few employees aware of this or too scared to say something.
