Pros

None whatsoever they are so full of it’s beyond belief. It’s an absolute muppet show and nobody knows what they are doing

Cons

Repulsive back stabbing work culture and if your face doesn’t fit that’s it your done for in no time. Church is passive aggressive

Wasting time

Pros

Pay and benefits are good, that's about it, work life balance is talked-about, but non-existent.

Cons

Too many meetings. The system is a mess, so many steps, to complete the smallest request. Too much time wasted because simple things take forever to process. It's all about the "Metrics" and not the patient.

Pros

Pays well (for a reason), good benefits, most marketing partners (and most people there in general) are great to work with, executives are good leaders, decent work-life balance.

Cons

Insights directors sorely lacking people management skills. Directors are too busy looking up to look down. Directors are beyond reproach and their opinion is the only one that matters. Severe micromanagement. Rarely if ever get any positive feedback, always critical. The nuance of every word on every document is nit-picked. If you ask questions you get criticized for not being able to work independently; directors expect you to have the same experience they have. Every day you're walking a tightrope. All my friends left for the same reason - the directors are miserable to work for.
