Thanks for your review. I'm glad you're getting a lot out of your time here. I also see your critical comments and appreciate the feedback. If you haven't discussed workload management with your manager or local Talent team, I encourage you to. It's especially important now in light of the pandemic and sometimes blurrier lines between work and home life, that you are able to keep some meaningful boundaries. They should be able to help you with that if you reach out. 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.
