Pros

Super smart people, blue list clients, differentiated cultural insight offer, fun atmosphere day-to-day. Potential to do impactful strategic and creative work. A management push to reinvent the way marketing research and strategy are done.

Cons

Added Value was one of the first and savviest marketing consultancies in its heyday. It is now struggling to find its footing in an evolving marketing context. Despite management efforts, change is slow to come, due to in part to constant scrambling to meet short term financial goals.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
