Pros

- Very helpful and supportive team members empathetic to my challenges - Startup type of environment culture where you were able to experiment and try a lot of new things - A lot of very smart analytics team members and old school ldigital media and tv marketing team who understood the industry very well. - A lot of messy data to work with if you like that kind of thing - Very casual environment

Cons

- The legacy systems and technology at the time was made to be impossible to improve or even work with - All of the backend systems were developed many years ago and controlled by a few people who knew how anything worked. - No focus on hiring engineering help or implementing open source solutions - Company was only focused on dazzling clients with a lot of fancy powerpoints. - They still relied on very traditional methods of selling media to clients with a lot of old-timer people relying on out-dated practices.

Pros

Flexibiliity; working with all levels of employees; full service agency. Extremely talented video production group, all in-house. The social media talent is awesome!

Cons

Sometimes too busy to have regularly scheduled meetings. Deadlines are always an issue with most ad agencies, but they seem to handle them okay.

Pros

Immediate supervisors, whether aware of it or not, are not only managers to their subordinates, but are also leaders and potential mentors. My immediate supervisors were wonderful in their leadership and directional guidance, making my career knowledge enriching and satisfying.

Cons

L-O-N-G work days. Weekends too. Although a VPN (virtual private network) was in place so employees could access their desktop computers from elsewhere, working after hours or on weekends was common, normal, and acceptable. This is one industry in which people looked at you funny if you leave at 5 or 6pm, making remarks about you "working half a day". Work/life balance was heavily and unfairly gravitated to "work", leaving little for "life". So if you value the quality of your life, and your health, don't work for Integrated Media Solutions. Also, since there are two offices on opposite coasts, sometimes one coast would interact with the other outside of the other's business hours.
