Pros
My experience working here has been mostly positive, with of course ups and downs. A significant advantage is having access to some of the world's best AI technology available in the world of Public Relations, thanks to being part of a large holding company like WPP. This allows employees to deliver superior work, reducing time on 'more mechanical tasks' and allowing for greater focus on strategic tasks and consulting. The learning opportunities are well-thought of, ranging from global webinars to in-person trainings. You get to work alongside some very talented people in the region but also across the global network, and even with the usual corporate layers, there's always a chance to pick the brains of senior team members and really learn from them. The people are generally kind, professional, and inclusive. Furthermore, the office space and location is nice (although it can get noisy at times).
Cons
However, it's worth noting that the recent merger has led to some shifts in the company's identity and culture. While the work is engaging, salaries could definitely be more competitive, especially given the rising cost of living. The flexible working policy is also undergoing changes, and while learning opportunities are many, the recent delays in promotion cycles have been a point of concern. While significant mergers naturally bring disruption, I'm hopeful the dust will settle soon and these changes will lead to a much stronger organization in the future.
