Pros
Very interesting clients from global corporates to middle eastern royalty. Diverse range of clients including lots of government work.
Get to travel a lot as agency is hyper global with clients around the world.
Research and data led, always learning about new countries, sectors etc through client projects
Hybrid of full time staffers and consultant global network with good flexibility and remote working options
Pure meritocracy, once you are in, your job title and salary reviews are based on competence and skills rather than years of experience and fancy universities
Management is good and supportive to team. CEO is demanding but a great teacher to learn from and develop.
Positive can do attitude to client projects
Big focus on training and skills development
The core staffers are nice bunch and feel like family after working together for years.
Cons
Multiple phases of quality approval before work is sent out of agency, which can be frustrating when managing timelines. Seeing docs have 7 rounds of edits is not unusual!
Short lead times to events etc which can create pressure to execute fast
Not the best agency to join if you cannot take pressure, deadlines etc
Lack of team bonding events, important as there are many consultants and staffers who do not work on the same projects.
Need to be flexible as there are always projects that are given to you with tight deadlines and you just have to get on with it.
People who are naturally a bit slow in their work do not do well here.
