Pros

Brilliant Brand Solutions and Analytics leaders being overlooked as replacement to US CEO. Should have saved former Chief Revenue Officer who knew how to lead team, win new biz and exceed $ goals.

Cons

Aggressive new US CEO creates collapse of all client, media and solutions teams. New CEO vilifies ideas of people who speak up - now a fear culture. Chris, Andy - plant yourselves in US for a month to witness horror show. Diversity? None. Boys club with token women sprinkled in to town halls for optics. Shameful.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
