We appreciate all feedback and I’m always very happy to chat to you more in person about your experience. To touch on your points, we are huge supporters of growth and learning for our team. Alongside our own internal training programme, everyone at O has their own CPD Learning plan, which is reviewed monthly at 121s with support in place from line managers and mentors to help everyone achieve their personal goals. We have a range of internal training programmes running all year and also offer a generous training budget, to provide access to external training courses such as the CIM to further their learning. Many of our team have been with us for c.10 years and their journeys have included numerous promotions and role flexibility as they have entered different stages of their lives and careers. Our salaries are continuously benchmarked against industry reports, and they sit alongside a range of bonus schemes and benefits. With best wishes, Fran (Head of People)

Pros

O Agency has a very close team which makes everyday fun, engaging and different. This also helps when working on projects and coming up with new ideas, as it is encouraged to work together across all teams. We work with great variety of really interesting clients, which means no day is the same. I have had career opportunities which I have never been offered before, and been supported when wanting to learn new specific skills and to try new things. I have made genuine friends here at O who I hope to be friends for life. I love what I do and I love where I work so it never really feels like 'work'! A real privilege to work for and with an award winning agency.

Cons

Nothing bad or negative to say apart from more parking spaces!

Pros

I started as an intern which was a great opportunity to understand what agency life is like and get to know my team and clients. When I joined full time, I was able to own my work, working directly with clients from day 1. My team works with clients from diverse sectors that are always changing.

Cons

I feel lucky to work for an award winning agency that are hardworking and passionate about PR and marketing, If I had to pick one thing, I wish there were more employee benefits such as mental health training, eye tests, or tax relief on pension contributions
