      Pros

      -cool client list -free coffee is nice -the office is pretty.

      Cons

      -there isn't much time for you to "transition" here and if you don't do it quickly then people start to talk -You constantly feel like you're messing up or are going to get fired -You are encouraged to the point you are expected to work over 40 hours a week -You never feel like you're good enough because management never tells you. But they will be the first to get in your face when you mess up. -There are ZERO HR resources to help the transition -My manager told me to stop messing up because people won't want to work with me 1 month into my job.

      I'm sorry to read about your experiences. I think you are referring to transitioning between projects but I'm not totally sure. I agree with you that it can take some time to get your bearings and we'd want you to feel supported. Please have an honest discussion with your manager about your concerns and if you'd like HR's support to do that, please reach out for it. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

      Pros

      I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

      Cons

      Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
