Pros
A relaxed and fun work environment Decent benefits Casual dress code Travel benefits (seldom, but they're there) Ability to have an input in creative decisions (From a marketing standpoint)
Cons
No trust in Senior Management Constant layoffs (Almost every other month) Zero budgets to work with from a creative standpoint London management is completely out of touch with today's customer in the US: Incorporating all divisions under one global umbrella without the considerations of cultural differences is a recipe for disaster. What works in our UK, Australia and even South Africa divisions may not work in the US but they're enforced on the business anyway without any market research of who the target customer is in the US and what they care about. Recommendations from employees go unnoticed Senior management comes and goes and doesn't seem to really care There have been 3 Managing Directors in the last two years There has been 8 different management changes within Marketing in the last 3-4 years Employees are hired for one job and end up doing something entirely different Overworked
