The worst company I worked for in 15+ years - Manager DDB Employee Review

Pros

Reasonable reputation with clients, and highly successful award-driven external reputation. Creative website.

Cons

Appalling senior management without ethics or responsibility. Not only did I witness members of staff collapsing on the job because of ill treatment, I was wrongfully dismissed and know of at least two other people this happened to. Whenever attention is brought to the near human rights abuses taking place there, the person doing it is threatened, fired, and then bribed into silence. This firm papers over the cracks and covers up its most sinister faults from view instead of ever attempting to solve them. Immature, short-sighted, negligent, and illegal. Only consider working in the Toronto office if you have very thick skin, or can stand to see staff abused without it depressing you.
