Pros

They have free food on Fridays. Great location in SoHo next to subway. Majority of the workforce is REALLY young, so if you are a college grad or party type, you'll have fun with the crowd.

Cons

To the point on age above, that also turns out to be a weakness as the overall maturity level is painfully low, which may be annoying if you are a bit more seasoned with experience. Not a cutting edge agency when it comes to tech. They also suffer from a symptom very common in a lot of agencies: the clique syndrome. There is a small inner circle with the senior management and their junior level minions who do their bidding, and they promote each other. There are a few really nasty, manipulative personalities and if they feel you are smarter or bring good ideas to the table and you are not a part of their clique, they will harass/treat you poorly until you leave. Their HR department is also not the most professional in the world.

Pros

Great name (account) in Mercedes Benz Great partners Great entry level experience Digital Media team getting acquainted with Programmatic space, which is good

Cons

Poor leadership, seem to be only out for themselves Favoritism, petty cliques, petty politics very rampant (related to point above) Divisive culture - No accountability Little opportunities for growth, raises or advancement Little to no diversity High turnover for mid/senior level career employees (stagnant culture and no room for growth so they leave).
