Pros

If you like working with arrogant people that think they know how to lead a team but really have no clue what their doing, then this is the place for you. If you like working with people that are friendly to your face but talk negatively about you behind your back, then this is the place for you. If you like working on a team that is unhappy to be working together and constantly complains about everything then this is definitely the place for you. If you like working for a company that lacks company culture and lacks respect for work life balance then this is the place for you.

Cons

EVERY downside of a company can be found working here! Don't let the smoke and mirrors fool you during your interview. Yea, it looks like an agency, smells like an agency, but that just part of the effect to appeal to new clients. Read the reviews online with respect to mgt issues and layoffs when considering working here. Having a poor senior management team, high turnover rates, loss of accounts/business, and lack of new business, its only a matter of time...

Pros

The Zen room, the slurpee machine, great office space where you can give your family a tour, pet friendly, and of course some really creative people. In fact, you should consider working for this company to get an idea of what it is to work for a fledgling organization who is trying to implement maturity in it's processes but going about in an unstructured way.

Cons

1. Lack of maturity in the senior leadership team: The entire senior leadership team is organic. While this may be good news from a career opportunity perspective (at least for the senior leadership team), what it also means is that these members have not had the exposure to work in mature, complex organizations which are spread geographically and vertically. 2. Lethargy to institutionalize processes: There are constant conflicts between processes. For example you have a direction to deliver 3 days of estimated work within 2 days, but no effort is made to recognize the risk, highlight it or mitigate it. Likewise, there's no change management process, no contract management process, no scope management process - all there is, is some loose guidelines and a lot of heat when things go 'wrong'. Well, duh. 3. Money matters - both internal expenditure which is frivolous as well as compensation.
