Pros

- Amazing work culture and benefits - Great variety of projects available with top global brands - Growth opportunities

Cons

Towards the end, a lot of compressed timelines and resource allocation made it harder to deliver good quality work. I get it's mostly the clients, but I think as an agency Instrument could also stand up for its employees better. Saw a lot of people getting burnt out at the end.

Pros

Instrument tends to hire people who leave egos at the door. People at Instrument work hard, are great to work with, and are very talented and collaborative.

Cons

Hasn't historically been a clear runway for product-focused producers, but that looks like it's evolving.
