Thanks for your feedback. I'm so glad you felt we had great resources, strong teams and a solid culture and great client base. I see your more constructive feedback and am very excited by the strides we are making and planning for in DEI recently. You're right that there is more we can do and we're on it. We're also working on more extensive career pathing and accompanying development resources, so thank you for your notes on that too. Take care! Maria O'Keeffe, US Chief Talent Officer

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.
