Pros

The younger/lower employees have a great camaraderie with each other, which made the long days/nights more bearable. Good name recognition, it opened a lot of doors.

Cons

I don't know where to begin. Sexism is painfully evident. Male coworkers with the same experience and job title make considerably more (read: more than $20K more than female counterparts). Female digital associates are "expected" to order cars and catering and are treated like glorified secretaries. The lowest person on the accounts somehow was responsible for ALL the purchasing, because the higher-ups didn't feel like it, which would amount to $3K on corporate cards each month. There is NO room for advancement unless you get in via client nepotism. Expect to work 70 hour weeks on less than a teacher's salary. Politics, long hours, painfully low wages, sexism. I left and never looked back.

Pros

Used to be an amazing place to work. Flat org structure. Lots of flexibility to jump into other roles. But the culture has changed since the acquisition. This review would’ve been a solid 4.5 before the acquisition, no I give it a 2.

Cons

Omnicom acquisition ruined the place. People are just disappearing with no explanation. Mass layoffs. Awful new leadership at Omnicom, though the Weber leadership tries their best to deal with the situation. Crap benefits from Omnicom.
