Thanks for sharing your feedback. It sounds like you haven't yet experienced our Candidate Assessment training or formal mentorship program and I encourage you to reach out to HR to see if you can take part in both. The Candidate Assessment is a new recruitment strategy and hiring program rolled out across the U.S. that focuses on hiring the right people for the right roles, based on thoughtful, data-driven decision-making. Our mentorship program provides all levels of staff the opportunity to connect with a mentor anywhere in the world short- or long-term to focus on their goals. I hope you have a chance to participate in one or both soon! Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
