Pros

good atmosphere for young people just getting in the game. Several parties throughout the year to keep moral up. Most people are friendly, but few could learn to be a little more friendly with their co-workers. Decent work/life balance. Some late days, but for most part not too bad.

Cons

Depending on your department, advancement is anywhere from possible to don't hold your breath - a lot of log jams with older positions, and company doesn't seem to be expanding any longer. Management could learn to work together more. Many times multiple projects come in with staggered starts, but same due dates, then act surprised that we're working on someone else's project due at the same time. Would get feeling that they were more comfortable harping on the employees about getting THEIR stuff done over the other managers stuff, rather than adjusting due date that they themselves have set. Business casual setting. Pay is not much if you start with company -- come in after a few years experience and they'll make you a decent offer. Some depts are very clicky...read as if you don't fit in with them, you'll change or they'll spit you out. The quality of clients has gone down. Company used to on board new clients strictly by using their own sales dept and barter. Nowadays, it seems like they bid out for new clients thru OMC sister companies more often than not.

Pros

fun media events, occasional lunches, work/life balance is decent

Cons

Salary is insulting and growth is stagnant, managers and leadership who throw tantrums (i.e. screaming, storming off, dismissing employees, sending attacking messages) without consequence, instances of very inappropriate relationships and conversation in the workplace, and the place is a rumor mill. Derogatory comments and sexual conversations/relationships shouldn’t be happening at all, let alone stemming from leadership. Unsure if HR is really just that oblivious or if a blind eye is turned, but with the amount I’ve witnessed in just a short period of time, I can’t imagine what else goes on here.
