Career stalled. Was told what I needed to do for my next career step, then once met they moved the goal posts

I'm happy to hear that you so enjoy our culture, people and benefits! Career development is important and I know it must not be motivating to feel like the goal posts were moved. I hope you'll reach out to your HR team or me, if you haven't already, in search for some advice on continuing your career growth. Best of luck to you! Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
