Pros

There are some hardworking junior staff who are committed to staying on top of their work. An A-list of clients to work for. Social gatherings are frequently arranged.

Cons

Holden Caulfield would have a field day with the level of phoniness at this place. Management lacks vision and frequently takes a very rigid "my way or the highway" attitude that comes across as condescending despite lack of credibility. The "culture", which acts as the foundation of the company, is all fake. Nobody talks to each other and stories are made up in management's head and shifted on a whim to suit their needs. While there are frequent social gatherings in the company, they rarely last beyond a drink or two because nobody actually wants to hang out with each other afterwards.

Pros

Healthiest internal culture among coworkers and peers I’ve experienced at an advertising agency. The people on the frontline are genuinely friendly, supportive, collaborative, and very talented.

Cons

- The agency was previously independent and is now part of a larger network, which has shifted priorities and ways of working. (We know what happens next) - Leadership prioritize financial performance and efficiency over employees and creative ambition, which impact morale and the quality of work negatively. - Ongoing/never ending periods of organizational change and restructuring have created instability and high turnover. - The advertising industry is dying, and this agency is in a particularly challenging position to navigate that environment and come out on top.
