Pros

Higher salaries, decent benefits, remote work, part of WPP.

Cons

If you must have a full time job and this is your only choice, proceed with caution and keep your LinkedIn profile updated. This agency has elements of a high control group, including: - Leadership does not value the psychological safety, perspectives and meaningful participation of employees - CEO is elitist, self-centered and dogmatic to the point where waiting for/anticipating her feedback creates a barrier to workflow and quality outputs - Criticism is forbidden and any critical thinking is characterized as "negative" - Deception is the norm, with leadership and management deliberately withholding or distorting information - Employees are made to feel that problems are always their fault, never the CEO's or the agency’s fault - They manage by instilling fear, including "secret" layoffs and abusive/inappropriate use of PIPs - Inexperienced/under-qualified "inner circle" of the CEO are elevated to executive positions while unrealistic demands are placed on everyone else - Vastly inflated view of the agency's competitiveness and preeminence - Antiquated tastes and views on culture / ignorance of modern agency practices due to leaders who have spent their entire 15+ year careers at the agency
