Pros

The production and media teams are talented (but I understand that they’ll be moved into seperate business). Free beer. Good location.

Cons

Managing Partners completely lack vision. Toxic Culture - Management constantly looking for people to blame publicly rather than fixing known problems - particularly the management team of digital unit. Dinosaurs - Creative Directors still treated like superior beings and have far too much influence, even in non-creative projects. HR - I’ve had one performance review in the last 3 years. Salary - Below market salaries paid. Have received glowing performance review and minimal raise was offered - significantly under inflation.
