Attracts the best talent across junior to mid-level staff. Good company benefits. Great opportunities to work for top notch brands.

Long hours, for low pay.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Client service can definitely involve long hours, but we want to make sure we're also enabling and encouraging employees to find the kind of balance that works for them in their work and personal lives. That and compensation are two areas we're eager to collect more feedback on and explore further, so thanks for sharing your insights. 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.
