Former Employee – worked at Aegis Media full-time for more than a year

Pros – They are big and rich with dumb rich clients!

Cons – They are stingy with salaries and screwed my contractors by paying them nearly 2 mths after they invoiced. I was stressed every day I worked there because my contractors were complaining about late payment. I never had repeat work from my best contractors and I ended up hating Aegis.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop being unethical with contractors! Senior management dont care about people

Current Employee – been working at Aegis Media

Pros – The Great Portland Street office is nice, errr that's about it for pros!

Cons – Terrible culture. Horrible people in most of the senior positions, who don't care about the well being of their staff. All they care about is their own personal success. Really helps a lot if you're a great drinker and love to talk shop when drunk.

Communication is zero!

The IT department is probably one of the worst I've ever experienced. The technology is so dated, and so are the ideas of the people you talk to in IT.

Advice to Senior Management – Sort out your HR. Sort out your strategic vision. Sort out your communications strategy. Get rid of all IT senior management (note to the new CIO there) as they have no clue. Learn how to motivate staff other than by getting them drunk, as if you don't drink or are a recovering alcoholic then you have no career path!
