If you enjoy getting let go in about 6 months, go for it.

no.

They are total slaves to their holding company and the way that acquisitions/mergers/whatever you want to call it have happened over the last five years means that they are very top-heavy and don’t care about their people who do the actual work. You will work on many small unimportant projects, have a ton of meetings (and no time to actually get your work done) and maybe produce a couple scrappy projects. It feels like you have to work overtime to get your work done but also that no one else is working hard. Clients don’t care about the work that much, account people only care about doing what clients want, CDs care about not butting heads with account. The leadership is focused on people being “nice” and compliant with the way things are run. If you say you’re dissatisfied with anything, you will be let go or laid off within like 6 months.

Think they were probably better when they were independent, their holding company is horrible. As CW 1 said they’re constantly merging their agencies, laying people off and don’t care about anyone who isn’t a chair or president or ceo of one of their agencies.
They merged with Eleven SF a few years ago and it was a shame as Eleven was a cool smaller shop with really great people. They took their clients and let go of the people.

Last night, I got a nastygram from a client who basically wanted to forego due diligence in a major buyout we’re helping him with. “Stop requesting documents and just draft me my docs.” But we literally don’t know who owns what right now, terrible corporate records. This morning, the partner told me he’ll probably fire this client, big pat on the back.

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?

Joined Ericsson a year ago. Learned new things but not enough. Thinking of leaving it and join some other org. What do you think? I wanted some on-site opportunities but so far nothing.
I know the raise will be in between 5-10%. But the part I missed the most is learning. I can use their portal but that is all theory and can’t do much if they don’t provide the time for it .
