Thanks for your review. I'm glad you find your/our projects interesting but agree with you that isn't enough these days to keep employees engaged. We try hard to offer way more than that. Since you are feeling undervalued and want to be empowered more, I encourage you to have a direct conversation with your manager about how you can grow and stretch. Now is a great time to do that. Aim to understand broader firm goals and align work to them for a good chance at growth that will be meaningful to both you and the business. Good luck! 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.
