Pros

Some really great people there and some fun to be had.

Cons

The whole company is overworked (even to ad-industry standards) to the point of breakdown/exhaustion. Some of the big accounts like Just Eat, Xbox, Dettol, saw multiple people signed off or resign with stress across all disciplines (PM, strategy, account management). There's no support for the mid-level staff who are doing the actual work and you're expected to just put up with the an insane workload until breaking point. Some truly awful people in senior positions particularly within strategy - I saw frequent bullying behaviour which is ignored by senior management in spite of multiple claims against said person.

Pros

There is a solid leadership team with a vision.

Cons

You need to work 3 days in the office (I guess a con if want 100% remote work).

Pros

fast-paced. large teams with support at many levels. Interesting clients.

Cons

high-level corporate structure—hard to get around opinions of select few. Felt very political at times. Deadline stress often with client projects.
