Pros

There are SOME nice people in the teams.

Cons

Definitely better jobs out there - This is not the best place to work especially for people of a non-white background. I've never seen a company with such a lack of diversity before - it's shocking. There's a lot of sneaky reporting going on, which makes it hard to trust your coworkers. Some people act nice to your face but talk behind your back to the managers. The training here is really lacking. When I first started, I had nothing to do for two months, so my learning was really slow. They used that against me, saying I still needed a lot of support from others, which I didn't realise was a negative until they pointed it out. Training is not sufficient for you to learn and they rely on you to self- teach everything. They're always comparing you to other colleagues, even though everyone grows at their own pace. Managers judge you based on what others say, not on what you actually do. Your growth is dependent on your Manager. And if you're not liked then they will work as a team to make sure you're out. All besides not paying you well. Not worth it- look for other jobs.

Pros

PCO team is amazing. Very supportive and collaborative workplace across the board, including high-level directors and senior leads.

Cons

The leaders of the conjoined groups US and UK groups (made up of 4 companies) are horrible. Terrible financial transparency and inappropriate communication of significant news (including no annual bonuses). People selected for layoffs based exclusively on salary costs, and no advanced notice or indication of poor financial performance. Very poorly run, unable to achieve financial targets, and have made the company a miserable place to work with no job security despite people putting in significant time (decades) with the company. Opportunities for development have been diminished because people are strung so thin due to hiring restrictions for over a year. In the past year, all benefits have been reduced with no advanced notice, including annual bonuses, PTO, 401k, and holiday time. DEI-B banned by parent company (Omnicom) to appeal to Trump administration to approve of IPG merger.
