Pros

• Benefits start the date you start

Cons

• Favoritism, bullying, clicky environment and heavy gossiping. Colleagues are held back from speaking up because they are scared. • Lack of multi-culture • Low pay for the amount of work and time you are excepted to complete • HR does not get back to you. Avoids contact by ignoring phone calls, emails and voicemails. • High stress and tension in the office. Work/life balance is hard to balance. • Micromanaging within teams. GM makes rounds daily to check who's not visibly 'working' • Unhealthy work culture & doesn't care for mental health

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.
