BGT Partners Reviews

It is only a matter of time before PWC realizes the levels of ineptitude present at BGT. Extreme disorganization and rampant mediocrity abound in most of the upper management employees coming from before the PWC acquisition. Real talent and expertise is rare at BGT at the moment, as proven by all the high profile clients that ran for the exit after 1 or 2 small projects. I predict many more employees leaving at the end of this year. No one is happy. No one cares. I know it for a fact. Good employees will continue to abandon ship at the same or higher rate than in the past.

There are limited opportunities for career growth. Few people move up the ladder... Most managers/directors have been there for a long time. That's how they got promoted. They are nice people, but they are not good leaders. Client retention is bad. Most only stick around for one project and leave because they are unhappy with the work. There’s no accountability. When projects go wrong (client exit) senior management ignores underlying issues and quickly moves on to the next one. You can never work from home. NEVER. A lot of people are idle. I think this is because of the acquisition, but it’s weird and some people are anxious. BGT is an average digital agency. They do basic web stuff but tells everyone that they are an innovation company. Sapient and razorfish are stronger NO ONE knows what account managers do at BGT. Also, most PMs are clueless paper pushers. Projects go over budget. All the time. Departments (design, dev, ux etc) don’t work well together and projects take too long to deliver. Coming from an agency background, being part of PwC is weird. They force you to watch annoying compliance videos, do a lot of mandatory training, and they are so corporate. Takes time to get used to.
