Pros

PCO team is amazing. Very supportive and collaborative workplace across the board, including high-level directors and senior leads.

Cons

The leaders of the conjoined groups US and UK groups (made up of 4 companies) are horrible. Terrible financial transparency and inappropriate communication of significant news (including no annual bonuses). People selected for layoffs based exclusively on salary costs, and no advanced notice or indication of poor financial performance. Very poorly run, unable to achieve financial targets, and have made the company a miserable place to work with no job security despite people putting in significant time (decades) with the company. Opportunities for development have been diminished because people are strung so thin due to hiring restrictions for over a year. In the past year, all benefits have been reduced with no advanced notice, including annual bonuses, PTO, 401k, and holiday time. DEI-B banned by parent company (Omnicom) to appeal to Trump administration to approve of IPG merger.
