Grey has lost its way - Anonymous employee Grey Group Employee Review

Pros

Variety of work, with some freedom to pursue creative projects. Some excellent, talented and hard-working colleagues who deserve better.

Cons

Staff at the London agency inludes a high proportion of bullshitters who can sound plausible but don't really know what they're doing. Management in US and UK ranges from lacklustre to frankly appalling, from the top down to mid levels. Grey has suffered from being assimilated into the faceless behemoth WPP: the group management seems to consist entirely of bean-counting cyborgs who have no real interest in nurturing the company.

Pros

Very friendly and welcoming environment, they have a "no a-holes' policy and it's true. The push to be the most creative is supported in hands on work with the C Suite being very involved. CEO is very smart, very personable and approachable. She's doing a lot to help culture. Strong accounts team that is very present.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities for creative as there is a full roster. Pitches can be brutal, with a lot of moving targets that could be fixed by the C Suite alignments before the work begins. Account team can have too much control over creative at times, kill ideas too quickly.
