Once a strong agency, now lacking direction

Pros

Pros: strong client variety and a decent level of autonomy in client management, outreach, and business development.

Cons

This company is a shadow of what it once was, and the steady loss of both talent and clients reflects that clearly. Morale is poor, the culture lacks direction, and there is little consistency in how teams are managed. Employees are either stretched to breaking point or left twiddling their thumbs with little to do. The agency is noticeably behind competitors when it comes to technology, innovation, and advisory capability, yet leadership continues trying to position the business as everything to everyone. The result is a company that does a lot of things ‘ok’ instead of doing a few things exceptionally well. There also seems to be a major disconnect between leadership and employees. The CEO is quick to post about awards and company achievements on LinkedIn, but makes little effort to engage with or recognise the people actually delivering the work behind those accolades.

A sinking ship

Pros

Excellent people make up the teams.

Cons

Unfortunately, the atmosphere is toxic. Senior leaders don't care about their teams and are happy to push multiple people out the door through several rounds of redundancies without addressing the lack of skilled leaders across departments. There are HODs and directors with little to no actual experience, who do nothing but delegate and then blame more junior/less experienced team members when things are not moving in the right direction.

Interesting clients, impossible to progress

Pros

Really genuinely interesting clients. Some great people.

Cons

It’s often hard to progress or even get constructive feedback. Compared to other agencies you are expected to spend a long time in role and there’s a real lack of clarity around how to move up. The number of accounts per person is also quite high at times, which can impact work-life balance
