Pros

Very good people - including some very talented, very ambitious creative directors. The actual creative team is small - so you can get to work on big projects, across all media, without battling to the top of an heirarchy. Very smart offices (on the outside) with great transport links. mid-size - not too big, and not too small. The agency has the ambition to be a leader. And after some very painful restructuring, they might have the mix right. No silos, no in-house production. Part of an international network - so there's a chance of transferring, and your experience will be recognised everywhere.

Cons

Lots of cheifs and only a few indians - the structure is very top heavy. it feels like the pay might be on the low side. You have to produce a lot of boring work, and the more exciting projects are often let down by poor production. Without any in-house production staff, you have to rely on external production companies which have let us down. The actual office feels about as creative as a call centre. And Victoria isn't the coolest area of london, no other agencies nearby. In the creative dept, chances of promotion or training are pretty much nil.

Like many agencies, timelines can move quickly and workloads can fluctuate depending on client needs. Priorities may shift fast
