Thank you for your feedback; it's not easy to hear but we will take it to heart. Inclusion and diversity are both significant focus areas right now from both a client work and overall perspective. We've made progress and there is more to do. We appreciate your perspective. Maria O'Keeffe, US Chief Talent Officer
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.
