Pros

Intellectually satisfying environment with superior clients and resources demanding world-class work with an emphasis on impactful relevance, market leadership and continuous growth

Cons

WPP's short-term financial orientation drives out risk taking, real innovation and respect for the individual, especially if someone is not client-facing or deemed to be mission critical, even if facts indicate otherwise; internal investing takes a back seat too often to risky acquisitions; the people development part of the Kantar equation needs help

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
