Pros

Great culture amongst peers and people, friends and family feel. WPP/Kantar Group great place to have a large network within the Communications, Media and Insight industry

Cons

TOP DOWN management- state they want to hear "voice of staff", but in action it looks/feels very different. Unluckily disconnect between people doing the business and the ones managing it to large, hence business not even closely performing to its potential.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
