Pluspunten

- wide range of exciting brands and projects - most people are generally really nice - office team are absolutely lovely

Minpunten

- expected to work late a LOT, no one ever logs off at 6pm on the dot, and it's expected that you work late not just as a one off but consistently, this is verified a lot as it's tried to be kept hush in the business, but lots of people go on 'sick leave' (aka - burn out) - not the best culture in the senior leadership team who don't bother to learn your names, and there's people that you have to 'work to impress' as they are known as being 'hard to win over' which already sets such unfair standards and expectations from the beginning - business communication is terrible, and when people leave the business suddenly, it's always kept such a secret and people have to find out by chinese whispers. - if you are good at one brand, you'll be kept on that brand again and again, not much room for other oppourtunities

- One of the top design studios in NYC/Globally. - Work with major global brands. - Led by industry leading talent.

Minpunten

- High turnover (likely because of intensive work hours and work dynamic) - Slow project dynamic (1 branding project could take years to be done) - Studio's emphasis is on creative department, not equally across other departments (account, Strat, etc)

Pluspunten

- Exposure to Major Brands: You’ll get to work with some of the biggest brands in the industry—great for your portfolio and career growth. - Exceptionally Talented Team: Designers and creative specialists are top-notch. - Strong Industry Reputation: Lots of awards and industry notoriety—especially if you're on the right projects.

Minpunten

- Poor Work-Life Balance: Expect long hours and little personal time. The culture subtly encourages work obsession, and burnout is real. - HR Prioritizes Optics: As other reviews have pointed out, the HR team often seems more focused on protecting the company's image than addressing employee concerns. - Cliquey Culture: The work environment can feel exclusive or political, especially if you’re not part of Design or the Account teams. - Lack of Process: Project Management is expected to drive the work, yet are often overlooked & undervalued. The lack of structure just compounds the chaos.
