I'm glad you enjoy your colleagues and consider our culture fun - me too! I'm sorry you've felt your career development to be limited. Additional career pathing is something we're actively working on and I hope you'll find it beneficial. We definitely pay for all time worked, including overtime for non-exempt employees. I'm interpreting your comment to mean that you've worked long hours some weeks, which can happen in our environment. If you feel you were not paid for time worked as a non-exempt employee please reach out to your local HR contact or me as soon as you can. Thanks for your feedback. Maria O'Keeffe, US Chief Talent Officer

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

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.
