If you want to spend more time with your therapist, this is the job for you! - Anonymous employee Drum Employee Review

- Flexible workplace. - You'll get to work on some fun and great stuff with great media owners. - On the whole very smart and talented people with the exception of a few. - Being part of a group gives you visibility, wider industry viewpoints and the opportunity to build your network outside of your agency. - Autonomy to run with briefs, although senior leaders do like to input their two cents and criticise your work regularly in a bid to stay relevant! - The benefits package is good, likely to mitigate the **** pay. - Most people join to capitalise on the mat leave policy, great for those going off and having babies, not great for those picking up and chaperoning extra work for no extra pay.

- Very poor pay, no transparency around increases, you have to beg for a raise and lots of corporate gaslighting. - The hours and stress levels can be awful with no boundaries when it comes to out of hours work. - Those in the middle are doing most of the actual work, including converting big business, but get no bonuses or monetary rewards. - A fair few senior leaders that pass the buck, are on their own agenda, struggle to celebrate others achievements, think they are too senior, and prioritise their egos over anything else. - You have to bang down the door when overloaded and drowning with work for help and support. - Senior leaders will handball anything they don't want to work on or deal with, spending far too much time on lunches or on holiday then converting actual commercial deals and facing challenges head-on. - Lots of people coasting, likely staying because it's the best of a bad bunch when it comes to this industry. - Agency hasn't grown or evolved significantly the entire time I was there and remains stagnant.

Good benefits packaging and nice staff

Bad pay compared to industry standard and lack of consistency in colleagues
