Pros
I had started with one of the founding companies before it became Ctrlshift, so it was my time to go and let the new guard come in to make it better. The culture at ctrlshift was extremely positive. There was a short period where the wrong people were hired, but natural attrition happens, and those with the right attitude and mindset stay on. The variety of clients they work with grant an employee access to different industries, and their platform knowledge coupled with hands on access give a breadth and depth unknown to many media buying solution companies out there. I refuse to call them an agency because that is not what they were - or still are.
Cons
The brief period where wrong people were hired to lead markets was probably the only blip in the company that lead it to a temporary state of...atrophy. However, new, and relevant leadership were brought in (or maybe natural attrition happened) and I believe this has helped turn the company around and realign it back to its original culture of the early startup days. There was also an identity crisis (tech or service or software as a service) of the company at one point, but this may have been fixed with the recent changes in the lines of business.
