Pros

Great Work Life Balance Global Retail Clients

Cons

Slow individual growth, No mentorship

Pros

Decent perks such as free food throughout the day at a good quality. Other perks were periodically cut while I was there coz they wanted to prioritise company growth. Nice social vibe. Decent office location. Decent training for juniors.

Cons

When I started, this was a decent place to work. But then they went on a growth spree and the place turned into a corporate hell hole. Perks were cut in order to save money and promote growth. Social aspect of company completely lost. Massages were cut, beers on a Friday were cut. The recreation room was turned into a client meeting room. The office became insanely overcrowded with people crammed basically back to back. Even with the recreation room and conference rooms used as breakout work spaces, there just wasn't enough room. Battery farm springs to mind. Upper management are a joke, arrogant and cliquey. They're only there because they outlasted everyone else, not because they're actually any use. Promotion across the agency is based solely on how chummy you are with management so start sucking up early if you want to get anywhere. Turnover of staff at lower levels is really high. Senior analysts and team leads NEED proper management training. They're not respected by or trusting of anyone they manage. This caused massive rifts within teams and sometimes outward conflict. Culture of blame, finger pointing and gossip. Work life balance became a real issue. The agency over promise in order to win clients and it's the juniors who pay the price in terms of their work hours. Pay too low.

Pros

- Brilliant co-workers who have next-level work ethic. - Get to work with a wide variety of large companies (i.e., great for resume building).

Cons

- Uninvolved upper-management that plays favorites when it comes to promotions. - Grossly underpays and overworks employees until they threaten to quit. - Terrible work-life balance. You are expected to be on-call at all times.

Pros

The NYC office is unlike any other. I have peaked in office spaces. Bar carts, some big clients, cross media work, lots to learn here.

Cons

You will learn a ton here ..simply because they don't hire enough people for teams and you will be taking on the work for 4 people. There's little to no understanding when it comes to work life balance. It will be easy to burnout quick here. Low pay for low level workers. There's no formal training for people management or for new SEM coordinators. Training falls on the person above you who likely wasn't trained on how to manage people. Upper management thinks they are amazing just because they have worked there for a while. If you're in to office politics this is the place for you! How they handled Covid-19 says everything you need to know about the upper management and how little they care about their people. Furloughed a ton of valuable workers, cut pay for everyone and no reversal in sight. Also, interesting how all the five stars reviews happened in the last few weeks from the UK Office - looks like they encouraged their employees to write positive ones to distract from all the bad.

Pros

A lot of growth opportunities in the form of skill learning, working outside your title, exploring multiple accounts, and interacting with leadership. Fantastic people - Really tho, my coworkers here go above and beyond. Non-hierarchical groupwork - although title matters, there is a lot of working above your level.

Cons

Work-life balance is a bit challenging to attain.

Pros

-(used to be) the people and team structure, if you had your solid team you were golden and could function as your own machine...when they shifted to a new structure, teams quickly fell apart and team morale/performance started to go down the drain -beautiful office (not a huge pro at the moment obviously) -competitive pay

Cons

-work/life balance isn't great, would easily clock in 50+ hours a week - predominantly due to understaffing and misplaced support -Director-level employees and up are completely out of touch with their own teams -upper management blatantly acts on self-interest, in late 2019 nearly all senior leadership were large-scale given promotions while middle and entry level employees had promotions delayed, empty positions they had to cover for on teams and no bonuses for over 8+months -SEM is the agency's only priority, the entire Display dept. is hemorrhaging talent because teams have gone understaffed and underpaid for over a year -potential for growth outside of SEM is minimal

Pros

Good work life balance, ok work load, team building events happen weekly but not the entire corporate, snacks are provided in the office often

Cons

low salary, not many benefits, segmented corporate culture, team building are week, intense corporate culture and team atmosphere, sometimes workload can be heavy

Pros

Good work life balance, flexible team

Cons

The pay is slightly low
