Pros

I get to work with interesting topics, and occasionally on other projects depending on my skills. Nice and chatty staff and overall good atmosphere in the office. Great team manager and colleagues! Gender balance is pretty much 50/50, there is a kitchen with tables to sit, and the entrance door is broken most of the time. You get two extra days of holidays after one year, followed by one day per year until you reach the limit. The awful HR team was outsourced to France! The hot chocolate is good and you get paid overtime.

Cons

Career advancement prospects are low and no salary increase! A lot of projects are outsourced and chunks of the night and day teams were outsourced to an Indian company, which does a terrible job. If you hear that your work will be replaced by Wipro then run for your life. Only 20 days holiday in your first year + public holidays, which is only 27! Windows can't be opened, poor ventilation and the occasional rat running around. The coffee is terrible! They also take donations from staff that they give to charities, which they later brand as money coming from their own profit, the dammed scroungers.

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
