Pros

- Supportive environment - you can always approach and speak to management - Seniors care about and genuinely help with client work (e.g. writing/reviewing reports and proposals), rather than just delegating/not getting involved even if you ask for help, which I experienced in my previous agencies - Lots of room for progression, you don't have to wait for someone to leave in order to be promoted - it's on merit - Excellent pay, above other agencies - Big, recognisable clients - In the Consumer UK qual team particularly: exciting international travel (South Korea, Paris, US) etc., a really lovely team, who are smart, bubbly, support each other, just seen two promotions and new joiners coming

Cons

- The external IT support can be hard to get hold of

Pros

Great team - supportive, friendly, knowledgeable. Good work-life balance and great projects.

Cons

Not so much of a con as just a fact - the learning curve is steep but you learn A LOT and once you're over it, you're in a great position.

Pros

Interesting clients means interesting projects to work on.

Cons

First red flag was on day one when I realized that there was ZERO training so I had to feel my way around processes and what was expected from the various teams. Speaking of teams, they are all silo'd and competing for revenue so there is no sense of real collaboration. Toxic environment with too much micro-management from execs who don't respect valuable input or POV dif from their's. Several recruiters mentioned the company is known to churn new employees every 6-8 months.
