Pros

Good welfare, flexible work hours, ending at 4pm every Friday, very nice colleagues and good management

Cons

Sometimes don’t see the value in media monitoring and social media tracking etc. don’t really see the value of reporting work besides working for the sake of serving the client’s needs. Very tough to get promoted for current employees who work hard and perform well but more senior hires can come in without relevant expertise and unable to perform up to standard. Pay is low, promotion is tough despite good performance and bonus is 1 weeks’ worth. 1 week. for a billion dollar firm. But this shows how good the culture and welfare is, because people still stay.

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.
