Thanks for sharing your feedback. It's good to hear where we can improve and I always meet everybody in person after they've been with us in London for 3 months to hear how we can get better and help their careers. We'll start to look at how we can give you more support when you need it and organise further training and development. Please feel free to come and see me at anytime, or we can catch up for breakfast one morning to tailor it to your needs. I hope you continue to have a long and meaningful career with us. Best wishes, Sam sam@akqa.com Managing Director, AKQA

Pros

Design and Strategy teams on the west coast in 2021-2023 incredibly smart and strong in their craft. Overall it is hard not to be impressed with the output and some of what the brand can produce

Cons

NY and DC teams were unpleasant. Competitive fearful vibe compared to other creative and tech industries I have been in. My guess is because everything is based on what accounts and projects they can capture and during this time tech accounts were pulling out of further business as their markets slowed. WPP (the parent company) began lay offs and shuttered whole agencies exasperating this.
