Don't, just don't... - Executive Creative Director Grey Group Employee Review

Pros

External GREY group/WPP management are professional and supportive, but powerless to intervene. Quite close to the MTR. Great stationery shop just over the road.

Cons

Talented local team ground down by a toxic culture of fear. Bullying management, bullying clients and a holding company keen on profit at any cost does not make for a happy company. Grey Dpi exhibits a wilful lack of recognised agency process, professionalism, care over creative execution and an almost pathological disregard for employee rights and wellbeing. The company makes money, true, but the cost is the souls of the staff. You have been warned.

Pros

Very friendly and welcoming environment, they have a "no a-holes' policy and it's true. The push to be the most creative is supported in hands on work with the C Suite being very involved. CEO is very smart, very personable and approachable. She's doing a lot to help culture. Strong accounts team that is very present.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities for creative as there is a full roster. Pitches can be brutal, with a lot of moving targets that could be fixed by the C Suite alignments before the work begins. Account team can have too much control over creative at times, kill ideas too quickly.
