Pros

- The company culture made working at GroupM a lot of fun! - Work from home policy allowed for some flexibility when needed (huge plus). - Lots of great people across the teams I worked with, most are team players. - Very good work/life balance all around!

Cons

- Compensation leaves a lot to be desired. GroupM should be more than a scouting ground for agencies that pay competitive salaries. Such a shame it's a "revolving door" agency. - Getting a good manager is a roll of the dice. Some are great, some not so great. I witnessed a manager (director+ level) gaslight a team multiple times on the topic of compensation. "It could be worse, you could be working at Walmart". Who could imagine morale problems resulting from that line? FWIW I don't think this is representative of the company as a whole, but they still work for GroupM.

Pros

The talented people working at the company made it worth working there. The former GroupM (now WPP Media) company had a knack for hiring brilliant talent. When given the opportunity to connect and work with colleagues across the various offices in the US, it was clear why GroupM/WPP was a powerhouse in the Media and Tech industry for decades.

Cons

The last 3-5 years became quite stressful as the agency went through various reformations, consolidations, and re-brandings to improve the overall offering and compete with Publicis and Omnicom, who had been winning new business and acquiring accounts from Wavemaker.
