Pros

Some good people working there. Centrally located. Still working on some good brands.

Cons

How far can you get on former glory? Love to live in the past? This place is for you! Don't pay freelancers more often than not - hundreds of thousands of dollars owed for years. Priority? Paying a bunch of "board members" instead. Smells like a pump and dump to me. Creatives run budgets into the ground. No one stops them as they'll leave and never be replaced. Corporate culture? NONE. Lots of negative feedback as a fear tactic. Sycophants do well. Feel bad for Juniors who think working for good brands is worth the amoral behavior of the company.

Pros

Nice space, however much of the space has been sublet and/ or empty. So little collaboration that everyone is in and out so you can go largely unnoticed and come and go. That’s the only pro to that same con.

Cons

Total lack of knowledge outside of anything that isn’t graphics packages. They fabricate what they are, talk a big talk but can deliver on anything but a package. Chaos in every sense from budgeting, to client management to creative. Everyone that create the products they sell are freelancers. The freelancers never get paid unless they are detrimental to the next client payment and they have they must threaten to walk. CEO’s answer is that he will just hire another freelancer.

Pros

Most of the people are friendly, extremely talented and passionate about what they do. High profile projects with high profile brands. Great end results! I've always been proud of the work produced during my time at Troika.

Cons

Culture used to be a big selling point for Troika however things have taken a turn for the worse ever since they moved into a new and larger building. People were always inspired and having fun in the past but now it feels as if everyone is overworked, underpaid, and demoralized. Everyday became about putting out the next biggest fire and supporting the company but that effort was rarely ever reciprocated to the staff. Low compensation. (Especially if you foreign) Long days and weekends are common. Not much room for growth -- Constantly hiring from the outside to fill in roles above current positions. Not paying freelancers -- ruins working relationships and destroys the company's and individual worker's reputation. Just plain unethical. There is a list of people that are owed thousands and thousands of dollars.
