Pros

- Basic salary is ok - Plenty of holidays - Good access to malls and public transport - Good exposure to different clients - Career progression

Cons

- Too much drama (tho it's a team of less than 8 people) perhaps it's my problem LOL - tbh, the team doesn't understand how the media landscape works, for instance, basically there's no logic for you to call/text the media/journalists every day, asking them if they will attend your event (which will take place 2 weeks later) - Social events that are too much for introverts (again, maybe it's my problem - I don't like to party) - Too much complicated and dreading SOPs (tho it's just a simple task - babysitting clients way too much) - Bonus

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.
