Pros
We were all naive, however the ONLY good thing about Fi is the people they hire outside of management roles or I would say of the core management. Designers, developers are awesome.
Cons
David Martin is a freak and everyone who has ever worked for Fi knows that. None of us had a pleasure of knowing DHM, it’s not someone you want to know. He doesn’t care about his employees and that’s a very short summary of how awful he is as a CEO. He is not someone you look up to and want to work harder for. He is so rude, unprofessional that he put his own wife down in meetings in front of other people and she was the COO of the company. Doesn’t look good. People had breakdowns, people constantly quit, people hated working on projects and endless weekend work but none of the management cared and told certain locations that we are lazy though most of us had 60-70 hour weeks. Watching the Facebook page for Fi and the comments from fellow fans is appalling. WAKE UP. This is not a dream job, this is hell. Open up your eyes and understand that Fi is falling apart. The reputation will last forever and with only 2 offices left their reputation is beyond low. In San Francisco and NYC no one wants to work for them as they are known to be crap and NO their projects are no longer exciting because no client wants to work with someone like David Martin and its team of managers. Do your research before you say yes to them. This is no joke and it can break you emotionally. You will be supporting the worst management team in the agency world. I hope clients read how they treat their employees and take this as a side note before they give them any business.
