Pros

Good benefits and perks. Nice colleagues.

Cons

As a member of WPP, there is a possibility that you may be employed by TAXI, but end up working for VMLY&R. Unfortunately, due to the company's reliance on a single client, there is a lack of diversity. Moreover, the organization's mindset is outdated, and it does not value innovation. The management lacks creativity, is not up-to-date with the latest trends, and faces challenges in recruiting and leading new employees. Consequently, if your objective is to broaden your portfolio and acquire new knowledge, this workplace may not be the most suitable for you.

Pros

- I worked with some fabulous people. Many of my coworkers turned into lifelong friends. - Fun culture. There was always something fun happening in the office. - Some cool client work.

Cons

- Not much flexibility, at least on my team. VML prides themselves as being flexible in terms of their hybrid work. However, many teams still do not follow to model and I was stuck on a rule following team with little to no flexibility. It all comes down to your manager and the team you're on whether you need to be in the office. - My manager was a super micromanager. It got so draining that I couldn't take it anymore. My manager made many rude and condescending comments over the years and tended to talk behind others backs, which I thought was very unprofessional. - I didn't get a raise in two years. In this economy, I had to look for a better paying job to pay my bills. - No room to grow in my career.
