Pros

-New leadership in the office has has had an impact, as it has become a much more stable, supportive and positive environment. Definitely making an effort to employees and trying out new things for office morale. -Provides opportunities and options to explore different realms - whether its creative, paid, digital or planning. -Opportunities to work on a high-profile accounts. -Compensation is catching up with the rest of the industry. -If you're willing to put in the time and the work, you will be rewarded and provided more responsibility.

Cons

-As with any agency, client demands can be challenging and lead to long work hours and unrealistic asks.

It's so great to hear you've experienced improvement in culture and morale in Portland. It's a great office filled with wicked smart people and I'm happy we've been able to successfully listen and improve over time. I'll make sure we continue to do so. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

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.
