Pros

The colleagues are warm and approachable, and there's a strong open-door policy across the company. HR is friendly and understanding, and the Directors, Managers, and team members are always ready to lend a hand. The workplace is free of politics, making it a genuinely enjoyable place to work. There's flexibility with the work-from-home policy, which is a big plus. The newly renovated office—especially the Balance Room—is a great addition. Employee well-being is clearly a priority and well taken care of.

Cons

As with any fast-paced agency environment, workloads can get intense during peak periods.

Pros

Good location with great food nearby. Nice boss who is present in the team.

Cons

Expect to stay beyond usual office hours. High turnover rate. Work gets repetitive. Colleagues are nice but be sure not to get on their bad side as word travels fast

Pros

A great team to work with, everyone supports each other. Seniors are very open to sharing tips and guiding newbies. Sometimes there are cool team activities! And APRW is a quite a chill place to work. Learn about many different topics to work with different clients. If all your seniors leave at the same time, there's a high chance you'll get to be promoted within the year you joined.. Honestly, the boss is a good person and truly visionary, but there are some points of criticism that really have to be said.

Cons

The boss is very distant from the team; not being in office is one thing, but it's another to not be present. It's usually hard to reach her to get clearance for items - sometimes this leads to you being scolded by client even though it was something your boss had to do (and you already reminded her multiple times). Negative work-life-balance. The amount of work is inane, you will have enough work that fills your time from 9-6 from retainer clients and regular day-to-day, but after 6pm it's time to do pitches. Sometimes it goes up to 10+ pitches in a month - and if you're in the content & creative team this means OT on top of your OT If the longest lasting member on the team said that they are still here because they don't need to interact with the boss, something is wrong. If there are new generations of teams (where every 2-3 years, it's a totally new team with no seniors), something is wrong..
