WE Communications Reviews

Pros

Great learning and development program - especially strong for entry to mid level employees who want to learn the industry and be part of a unique culture
Cool benefits programs including generous time off, paid parental leave, etc.
Dozens of new clients enabling people to work on a bigger variety of businesses

Advice to Management

Glad to see the range of new clients and strong leadership hires.
Keep evaluating office locations to see what works best for the most employees.

Pros

Good paid, friendly working environment, 20 days paid off

Pros

I felt loved and supported at WE. Their internship/training/mentorship culture is well established and encourages growth. Standards are high, which means when you leave you'll take with you a sharp set of skills that translate well inside and outside the industry. Most teams value collaboration and creativity and new ideas are welcome. The leadership is actively trying to adjust to a changing culture of work by experimenting with remote work, open seating in some offices, office events, and participating in the community. And the HR team is incredibly trustworthy and supportive. For the most part, you can count on your team really being behind your success and wellbeing.

Advice to Management

Make sure JR staff are getting credit for all those hours worked and take a close look at the promotion system

Pros

- Clients represented are some of the most well-known companies and brands in the world. At WE, we are responsible for full-scale communications, getting to work on incredible projects and work on behalf of these companies.

-For those looking to gain PR experience to either go to another agency, in house, or even advance up the ranks at WE, this agency has one of the best reputations in the business. They're doing great things across the company and worldwide, and offer incredible learning and work opportunities for people building their careers. One year of working on a Microsoft account at WE is like the equivalent to 2-3 years anywhere else.

-Socially conscious company looking to do good in the world and for its employees.

-Fun office atmosphere with a lot of young people.

-CEO is very involved in people's happiness and makes herself visible to senior and junior staff alike

-Awesome work-life balance

Advice to Management

-Create a standardized process across the agency for considering promotions, and if a title promotion isn't available, bring options to the table (such as merit bonus, vacation days, etc.) That goes a long way in creating company loyalty and encouraging people to stay at the agency, when competitors are paying much more.

Pros

I&A team is great and very supportive of each other. Management within the I&A team is good. Great benefits and flexibility to work from home.

Pros

I love the work life balance and flexibility. WE also offers a very competitive benefit package. I love the fact that WE focuses on giving back and allowing their employees to volunteer (16 hours of paid volunteer time). The global exchange program is also amazing. All employees have the opportunity to apply to travel and work from a WE office in another country.

Pros

Amazing teammates; the people are what make the agency what it is
Great new clients - finally expanding more outside of Tech
General Managers are making a positive difference

Advice to Management

Continue to be transparent with your employees; highlight the good; PR ourselves more!
