Vantaggi

The Good: • Fully remote • Decent benefits

Svantaggi

Aquent loves to sell “change” as a good thing but really, it’s just constant chaos dressed up in buzzwords. Reorg after reorg, no clear direction, and leadership seems to be guessing as they go. You’ll hear a lot of talk about “adaptability” and “growth mindset,” but it’s mostly code for “we have no idea what we’re doing.” The Bad: • No real training…. you’re thrown in the deep end and expected to swim • Extremely metrics-driven to the point of burnout • Micromanagement • Upper management is disconnected from reality • Toxic environment for working moms or anyone who needs flexibility • “Unlimited PTO” but you’ll be guilted if you actually use it • Everything revolves around the bottom line, not people. Talent, clients, or employees…. it doesn’t matter as long as the numbers look good. If you’re self-taught, thrive in chaos, and don’t mind sacrificing your sanity for KPIs, you might survive here. But if you value culture, support, or long-term growth,look elsewhere.

Vantaggi

Decent benefits, but Cigna insurance likes to take the cheap route on everything from MRIs to colonoscopies.

Svantaggi

For "budgetary reasons," my contract work for an industrial automation company got "offshored" to Asia. After working on the same ongoing project for over six years, Aquent didn't respond to my application for work on other projects, and they completely cut me off from company email or anything else. In total, I had worked for them for more than 7.5 years, and this is the way they treat people?! Also, I never got a raise in that entire time. Actually, I went from being a fulltime employee to hourly talent when there was an earlier shortage of work.
