Pros

The people outside Warwick office are amazing. Lots of talent and skills

Cons

It’s a very old school organisation. In particular the Warwick office and old school MB people are very insular and often times very ignorant. So many people are in roles because of their longevity in the business rather than the right skill set. They have removed a lot of diversity within the business. A lot of great left or were pushed. All that is left is those who cannot or do not want to find another job. Racist outbursts from staff is accepted and HR don’t really deal with issues - prefer to handle those who have victims Outsiders are treated like the problem because those who have been there for decades cannot change and don’t have the skills.

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.
