Pros

Good holidays. free car parking.

Cons

McCann pride themselves on being 'the most creative agency in the world', this is so far from the truth it's laughable. If you want to work with e-cigarette and cigarette brands this is the place for you, if not avoid, as this is primarily what you will be working on (although they don't want people to know this). The managers are bullies who like to belittle people who they think are beneath them, some of whom would have been fired by any decent company for some of their actions, yet McCann is very good at brushing things under the carpet. The culture has a long long way to go its still an old boys club. I urge you to avoid at all costs.

Pros

fast-paced. large teams with support at many levels. Interesting clients.

Cons

high-level corporate structure—hard to get around opinions of select few. Felt very political at times. Deadline stress often with client projects.
