Zero work life balance, burnout and stress is high - Director Level Droga5 Employee Review

I don’t think the agency itself is bad. It’s just not going to be a fit for everyone and that’s ok. My experience had me with triple booked meetings each day, no work life balance, and difficulty making thoughtful work with turnarounds of 1 day. It’s easy to get lost in big agency politics: stress of managing up and meeting demands of absurd timelines makes it difficult to take care of yourself and the creatives that work under you. Huge PM department but they don’t coordinate with one another to ensure manageable workloads. “Always on” mentality makes it near impossible to protect nights and weekends. I mostly worked 12 hour days during the pandemic and most weekends. Very corporate feeling due to Accenture acquisition. Feels like you can’t be genuinely upfront with management about issues without it backfiring.
