Pros

Big clients, talented creatives, supportive peers, fun office activities (if you can actually make time for them)

Cons

A very damaging work/life balance and lack of any real care for its colleagues mental health. Very normal to work until 10pm-11pm most evenings, join meetings over weekends etc. And sadly, as a consequence its very normal for employees to be signed off work due to stress (myself included). Despite the kind words you might receive from your peers or manager when this happens, it doesn't change the way VCCP manages its resource and employee workload upon you returning to work. At the time of me handing in my notice, resource was so tight across the board from permanent and freelance colleagues fleeing (apparently VCCP made such a name for itself among freelance producers that no one would come work for them) - I wasn't sure how on earth it was going to stay afloat. Couldn't be more happier at my decision to finally leave, I didn't know there were jobs out there that actually allowed you to clock off at 6pm.

Pros

Some of the people are nice. There are cokes in the fridge.

Cons

Management is delusional and does not care about employee wellness. The account team lead is an awful human being whose sense of entitlement made working there unbearable. By the time I left, 90% of the original account team I started with left due to her. We were all convinced that she must have had dirt on someone in leadership because there was no way that many complaints could be made and no repercussions would be taken. Unreasonable work hours, no support, and always being asked to do more. It’s impossible to succeed there. The company is very white. There are only a few non white people and it’s known that they’re treated differently.
