I'm very sorry to hear that you don't feel invested in. While it's true that some learning opportunitites and programs are level-specific, the majority of company resources and investments are made below the management level. I hope you'll take time to review all the wonderful development resources availalbe on our on-demand e-learning platrform, ELI. There you can find amaznig content. Also please consider contacting your local HR team for more information on programs that are available 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.
