      Pros

      Fantastic, very intelligent, and hardworking colleagues who really care about the work they are doing. And a company owner who genuinely seems to be trying to better the world with his buisness.

      Cons

      The pressure and demands put on creative and production are completely impossible to keep up with. It's difficult to avoid burnout. HR is always sending around a lot of stuff about work life balance blah blah blah but we are not actually allowed to do that because ever day a new super duper highest priority project hits and everyone has to stay up all night and work all weekend to that on top of all their other work.

      Oh boy. I'm sorry this has been your experience and I know we have work to do in effectively staffing creative and production. The good news is we're working on a U.S.-wide Resource Management function that I think will be critical in addressing your concerns . I'm glad you're happy with your coworkers and I agree with you that Richard is trying to better the world through our work. That's a big deal and is one of the best things about working here in my opinion. Thank you for your hard work and for your feedback. Maria O'Keeffe, US Chief Talent Officer

      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.
