Pros

Great benefits, culture, work/life balance

Cons

Administrative Staff has to deal with a Manager who is backstabbing and unable to keep confidential information to herself. Administrative Assistants have no room for growth.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I hope you'll consider reaching out to your former HR contact or me directly to discuss your feedback, so we can have the opportunity to look into your concerns. Since you didn't indicate your office, it's unclear where exactly these challenges may lie. I hope to hear from you soon. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
