Pros

Friendly team. Plenty of holiday leave for those who want it.

Cons

Low pay. The company seems to operate by churning through graduates and replacing them with new (underpaid) fresh-out-of-college graduates. During my last year at the company, they were also beginning to outsource a lot of key technical roles - roles that require specific knowledge of the UK job's market and its mix of news titles - to India. I wonder if their clients, some of which pay vast sums of money for their media monitoring services, are aware that crucial tasks are being offshored to the sub-continent. Somehow I doubt it. I'll remember WPP and Martin Sorrel as a company that has helped usher the demise of what's left of the middle class in the UK's capital, as most of the people I knew working there were living in sub-standard conditions in suburban flat shares; others in dingy hotels.

Pros

New regime may finally consolidate companies. I had good managers.

Cons

After years of senior management pitches and dismal results the morale gets blase'.
