Have heard mixed things. You would never catch me in Raleigh/Durham. That place makes Richmond look like Tokyo. It’s just suburban cul-de-sacs for eternity. But I think if you get on the right team, it could be good.

Glassdoor is very accurate. Solid clients, some very smart people, hit or miss culture and work, horrible leadership. Not much room for growth or constructive debate. Must be "in the right clique" to survive regardless of your talent or contributions.

NYC or North Carolina? Heard North Carolina office is unsurprisingly better. Also they’ve had a bunch of layoffs and change over in the last few years like most agencies. My feeling is these changes are felt more at places like McKinney which thrive more so off a consistent culture and creative standard than most holding companies. So I would say place is doing much worse since Covid, but who ain’t?

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management. I regularly interface with leadership internally and at the client. But, I am aligned to the “Operations” capability and make the least of my teammates who perform seemingly identical work but are aligned to “Strategy and Consulting.” I worry I’m on a career path to being paid the least wherever I go, because Operations is in my title and background.
