Pros

- Almost limitless opportunity to learn, grow and develop new skills - Great community of bright, passionate professionals around the globe - Integrated mix of PR, Analytics, Traditional Agency/Studio operating at the intersection of technology, design, life sciences and marketing - Many of the brightest and most passionate team members have been at the agency for years and have helped it grow from a small independent shop to a global, multi-disciplinary agency

Cons

Not a traditional agency with lots of guardrails and old school process, like the industries they support W2O is always evolving and innovating - this can be challenge for non-self starters or non-entrepreneurial employees but is a real plus once the model and approach is clear.

Pros

- none. this company is soul suckingly inefficient and they prefer it that way

Cons

- the most dishonest and toxic work environment that I have ever been a part of - the most unqualified management that I have come across (I have worked across numerous agencies - the work is sketchy at best and clients are grossly over billed. Pressuring employees to over bill clients and trying to force inaccurate or incomplete work through the purposely inefficient review processes is common practice at RC - if you do not over bill your clients your managers will begin to micromanage you in a manner that hints at you not doing enough. - Account teams know nothing about media or advertising and make the most uninformed promises to clients and that media activation is constantly on the hook and being blamed for - they hire very little or no men in general. this place is like a toxic middle school atmosphere, it is truly exhausting to be a part of. - managers will routinely insult you in a way you've never been insulted before at work and nothing will be done about it - information is usually gate kept and teams will prevent you from doing your job while management is asking that you contribute more.
