R/GA Employee Review

I worked at R/GA full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – People at R/GA are very enthusiastic about what they do. For the most part everyone is energetic, passionate and really talented. The building is also cool.

Cons – They will work you until you can't work anymore. They don't give you recognition or raises until you threaten to quit. It's also always very dark in the office. No one believes in lights. There is also a lot of red tape to go through. You spend 80% of your day in meetings and every person on the team, usually 30-50 people has to see what you're working on before it can go to the client. Being a media person in a creative agency like R/GA definitely has it's challenges. The location of the office is also not the best.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't charge your clients so much, reorganize the agency so that there aren't so many hurdles to put out good work, focus more on quality control and innovation, and show some appreciation for your staff that you make work 60-80 hours a week.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
