Has anyone done new hire meet and greets in a remote setting? If so, were they useful? What went well and what went poorly?

Yes and yes. It is useful for them. Specifically if you are talking about new grads but also for everyone else cause most of us are not used to “virtual meet and greets”. Just ask questions when they stop answering and let them talk.
Seriously, it means a lot to people joining a firm in this lifeless virtual environment.

Hi! I want to go back to working with other humans (in person) after a successful 10 yrs of freelance/remote Creative services on my own. I am excited about working for brand development agencies, but I keep reading that in my late 40s, advertising might not be the most welcoming scenario. Are there any suggestions for "mature" diverse agencies (any size) to check out in NYC? I'm a bilingual, hard-working AD/Designer with a ton of design management experience. Gracias!!

I was laid off this month from a US-based company where I've been a reporter for the past 3 years or so... I live in Europe. I wonder if I'm likely to have luck with other remote-friendly US companies. Or are we already past that?
