Good people and culture
Great experience
Bar and restaurant in the office with great rooftop
Very central location in London - Knightsbridge

Cons

Salary not very competitive
Not much training and development of staff
English public school mafia - a lot of ego

Advice to Senior Management

Better compensation and development of staff at all levels

Pros

big, fortune 500 clients, big budget management experience, lots of support teams - almost over staffed sometimes. You will learn a lot and be asked to do a lot - learn from that.

Cons

muddled in the middle. hard to move up or down. Stay & learn while you can - you will work, no doubt - but promotions and salary increases are a myth. You need to move on to move up.

Advice to Senior Management

get back to management reviews and some small salary increases to keep people motivated. Otherwise the turnover in the middle will continue.

Pros

Young crowd...
Fun place to work

Cons

Growth opportunity was low and limited

Pros

There are lots of opportunities, clients and people to workwith. They have a strong rep and long history. if you push, you'll. Find the job you're looking for.

Cons

There are so many employees that if you don't start with a core team on your side, a niche of your own, it's easy to get lost in the mix.

Advice to Senior Management

There are lots of fish in this big pond. There's no beurocracy problem, just an opportunity to cultivate a lot more untapped talent already under your control.

Pros

Scale of the business is amazing with access to great clients at a senior level. There is a ton of global opportunity and more chances for travel. The office is super well designed and people are nice. There is a bar and lots of events.

Cons

Bureaucracy to get things done is hard and there are too many people on every project. Best to stay under the radar somethings and just do stuff rather than talking about it.

Advice to Senior Management

Advice to Senior Management

Make sure teams are complete, that everyone knows clearly who to report to, and that there is someone to report to and to support on a day to day basis

Pros

The office decor is great and they also have a full bar, popcorn machine and a play room that has Nintendo Wii, a pool table, etc. so employees can relax.

Cons

Upper management didn't care about my personal growth, long hours I worked, or support I needed to succeed on this account. I had to ask permission from my supervisor and manager to speak with my Client... I've never been so micromanaged in my life! And the way certain creative teams spoke to and yelled at the account team was appalling. What was even worse, is that upper management knew about their behavior and did nothing about it.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees and you should have the mentality that no one is superior enough to do any job or task. Provide your employees the guidance and encouragement to do well by providing positive reinforcement and constructive criticism.
