Micromanaged to death, miserable politics--like high school. - Visual Designer R/GA Employee Review

Pros

High profile clients and high profile work. Good salary and half-decent benefits package. Lots of young people and parties--if you're into that.

Cons

Upper management feels the need to constantly tout the same R/GA success stories to their employees, trying to reassure them that they, too, will eventually get to work on "their" Nike+... but that never happens. Creative leadership is mostly "old" R/GAers who have just stayed put and been promoted by seniority (and plenty of politicking) rather than earning it with skill. Long, long, long work hours for projects barely supported by project managers and account people.

Pros

High profile accounts and clients and a focus on digital transformation.

Cons

Hands down, the worst experience I've ever had. Not the whole company, but the way I was treated was unacceptable.
