Toxic company with a dog-eat-dog, bullying culture, set in the old-school ways of the advertising industry, which is thankfully dying out.

Pros

SMUGGLER has an impressive roster of directors and consistently produces high-quality work. If you want to be surrounded by top-tier creative talent, this is the place. The projects are exciting, and you’ll get hands-on experience with some of the biggest names in the industry. The team is passionate and hardworking, and you’ll learn a lot if you’re willing to put in the effort.

Cons

Work-life balance can be tough. Long hours and high-pressure deadlines are the norm, which can be exhausting. The fast-paced nature of the industry means things can sometimes feel chaotic or disorganized. Compensation may not always match the workload, especially for junior positions.
