Pros

Free coffee Enthusiastic and empathetic Chief Creative Officer Good team spirit

Cons

Out of London location gives it a holier-than-thou air Too many people at the top who are "lifers", will never leave and are often dead wood. This means there are little to no growth opportunities for younger employees even when they are doing the more senior job day to day. Creative-wise, the ECD has a god complex and runs the department on fear, gaslighting and unnecessary competition with other creatives – many of us were left second guessing ourselves and feeling like we were doing work to please him, not for ourselves or the clients. Thanks to the top-heavy company nature, complaints about him or any other senior member of staff leads to a banding together and a biased dismissal if your feelings/requests/complaints. All in all disappointing as the CCO is one of the kindest most understanding bosses and people I've ever met
