Pros

High-paced job in an environment that fosters fast growth. Teams are typically quite supportive of all members. Training is good and employees have a clear growth track.

Cons

I unfortunately watched clients take advantage of many situations. Team encouragement could be better, and an emphasis on morale should be stronger. Teams often understaffed. Compensation is low for the amount of work done.

Thanks for your review. I'm happy to hear you felt supported, well-trained and experienced solid growth while you were here. Finding the right staffing balance for people's interests and client needs can be a delicate balance, but one that we continually strive to achieve. Thanks for your input. 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.
