Pros

Lots of Opportunities to Learn & Grow. Senior management willing to trust and give full ownership to juniors. A+ training and assistance in case required.

Cons

Too strict in terms of adhering to deadlines and hence can create intense pressure environment. This in a way helps to develop skills required to work in a fast paced environment.

Thank you for your comments and it is great to see how senior leadership are empowering people to take more ownership. We advocate entrepreneurial outlooks and approaches so this is encouraging to hear. As a business and to meet our client needs, we often have deadlines that need to be met. However, if you feel that your workload is becoming too much then I would encourage you to have an open conversation with your manager or local HR. Thank you again, Nigel Miller, Chief HR Office

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.
