Pros

Dentsu offered remote work and flexible schedules.

Cons

The top doesn’t talk to the bottom, and a lot of communication is lost. Jobs aren’t posted, but new people show up in your team bc they were referrals.

Pros

+ Autonomy for certain projects

Cons

+ Lack of training which they blame you for + No diversity in clients + Poor Management and Leadership + Hires diversity to fill a quota instead of training and growing said person + Theres no "family" culture, which sometimes can be a negative but THERES NO CULTURE here, which means you'll work 80 hours and no one will care, they will let you go and no one will care, someone passes away in your family and no one will care, you get into an accident and no one will care. The first question is, did you get the work done. + Account team does not manage the clients expectations, when you try to then there's push back. + NO WORKLIFE BALANCE EVEN REMOTE + No structure of decisions. + No structure with work or any process really + You are only a number here- actually. + The pay is mid - I had to fight for my wage so they decided to give me more work then even the people more senior.

Pros

Clock in at 930, and out at 530. Some late days once in a blue moon but otherwise, work life balance was on point. Decent benefits package, free food, company events. Office space was outstanding. Some real gems here and there within upper management.

Cons

-Frat/sorority type feel -Questionable hiring decisions and promotions, making internal and cross team communication difficult to take seriously -Some people were just not that great. Senior management mocking workers for their accents during meetings only to be met with laughter from team members can be, to say the least, a big red flag. -A general culture lacking accountability and values
