Pros

Some very smart people. They talk the talk of letting people move around and grow and change career tracks and they seem to walk that walk as well. Super focused on D&I issues and fairly good at managing those. Very transparent as far as how the business is doing.

Cons

Very clique-y. There are definitely "cool kids" tables and the company heavily overindexes on rewarding certain personality types. They still seem to be stuck in the mindset of doing cool ads on TV. Lots of turnover. Parent company, WPP, is absolutely Sauron-ian in terms of bean counting, which can lead to very dumb, short-sighted decisions. BD and account folks sometimes just concerned about making the sale and don't think about how it will be executed.

Pros

Flexibility, decent benefits, competitive pay, remote work

Cons

Just like any agency, if a client pulls an account or the C-Suite decides to cut budgets, everyone is on the chopping block.

Pros

Not one good thing in this company

Cons

Everything. worst culture, back stabbers, employees are just a number to them, dishonest, no organization, my first week of the job the manager that hired me was talking about leaving work because they can’t do it anymore (so why did you hire me). No training and expect you to just simply know things without them even explaining it to you not once. Worked there for almost 4 years not one person I knew or knew of was ever promoted zero growth opportunities. The company itself does not encourage growth they just want everyone to do a job and stain that job for 30 years 40 years they don’t care at all.
