Pros

Legitimately care about employees. Lots of people into health and fitness so classes and encouragements. Co-workers are good people. Senior management is approachable and supportive and it is a big plus to have a ton of autonomy.

Cons

Some administrative bottlenecks to get things (like travel) done. Projects can often change direction at the last minute.

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.
