Pros

The office is beautiful with great views of the Hudson River. They employ good talent that are able to wear multiple hats to get projects to completion.

Cons

The overall culture of this agency is non existent. The environment that upper management breeds is extremely unprofessional and toxic. Compensation is very low for the doers of the agency and overly inflated for certain people within the agency. They tout being an ad agency and production house but offer none of the typical agency benefits. The overall consensus from upper management is that it is a privilege to work for the company and that is benefit enough.

Pros

- nice office and locations, the new office is in front of Madison square park. - free bagels and spread on Wednesday, lots of free snacks and coffee. - pretty chill environment and people overall.

Cons

There are a lot of teams so depending on which you're on will decide if you 'survive' at the lap. My manager couldn't be bother to properly train me and left me pretty much on my own barely 30 days in. I made friends on other teams so I know that's not how it is all around. Not the greatest onboarding - again you'll meet a lot of people in the first week but not sure how they fit into your teams, you'll have to figure that out on your own. Lots of meetings.
