Pros
+ Great location in Southwark with a host of transport links + Office building itself is an Omnicom hub so lots of partner agencies are in the same building, which makes collaboration convenient + Great benefits package relative to other agencies + A lot of the people (excluding management) are lovely and fun
Cons
Where do I even begin? I had a pretty rough experience here, and was the victim of some first-grade gaslighting and manipulation from my boss, who joined my practice several months after I'd started (because of his longer notice period). There was also a sprinkling in from other practices, where I was told I didn't pay off anyone's great expectations for my performance, after I'd verbally called out a political situation that I didn't want to be involved in with senior leaders. I was so mentally and emotionally exhausted after 6 months of being told how sub-par I was, and later having my boss use the visa I was on as some sort of bargaining chip for submission, that I turned in my resignation. HR did try to compensate me somewhat for my poor experience by forgiving some fees I needed to pay back for quitting within a certain timeframe, but they did little to nothing to help me while I was going through it all. Since starting a new role, I've heard absolutely none of the "feedback" that was spread around about me at FHF. I started my new role feeling so unbelievably torn down and insecure after what I went through. The worst part is, I thought I'd built a trusting, honest relationship with the Deputy CEO as someone who could be a mentor, but she simply stepped aside and let it all happen because my boss, the new hire, was more politically valuable to her.
