I'm happy you enjoyed the work and experience, but it's unfortunate to hear that compensation was a demotivator for you. While we care about paying people competitively and utilize external market data to ensure we're meeting our compensation strategy, your feedback is helpful and appreciated. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
