Working here used to be great - it now requires every patience possible

Pros

Being a large agency, there are good opportunities to work across varied projects. >3 years ago, it used to be an excellent place to work, and some good still remains (mainly the talented and caring people on the ground).

Cons

The culture has declined over the past few years. Teams are constantly expected to deliver the maximum while the minimum is done for them in terms of resourcing and recognition. Morale is low and burnout is widespread. Leadership often fail to read the room with their communications - for example, celebrating awards, new marketing slogans, and learning initiatives doesn’t sit well when people are exhausted and feeling undervalued. At the same time, significant money is spent on fancy offices (that are largely empty) and new systems that don’t work - these things won’t improve profitability, while bonuses and other forms of recognition for hard work (the things actually valued by clients) are almost non-existent. Salaries have fallen significantly behind market rates, many promotions are overdue, and little is done to retain people until they’ve already handed in their notice. The exit interview now taking place via online survey, rather than a real conversation, feels symbolic of how disconnected leadership has become from listening to people… and perhaps also the volume of people leaving.

CEO & CPO = RED FLAG

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a nice office

Cons

Working here has been a frustrating experience. CPO often feels disconnected from people’s actual needs. She tends to micromanage instead of empowering employees, which stifles creativity and motivation. Accountability is inconsistent—poor performance is often tolerated, while strong contributors can feel overlooked or underappreciated. Another major concern is diversity and inclusion. Hiring practices appear narrow and lacking in genuine commitment to building a diverse team. This creates a culture that doesn’t feel welcoming or supportive for everyone. Overall, the workplace feels more focused on control than collaboration, and the culture suffers as a result.
