Pros

- Global agency allows for PR execution on a global scale - Diversity in types of clients (e.g. healthcare, technology, public affairs, consumer, etc.) - Resources are plenty and new tools are always being introduced to employees - Assignment of a career manager to all staff to help individuals grow and develop

Cons

- VERY rigid employee review process (i.e. higher likelihood of not being promoted even when you've proven you are performing at the next level) - Managers known to delay reviews for months at a time with no sense of urgency to hold them - No secret, but low compensation compared to the rest of the industry - Work/life balance is consistently off

Pros

Used to be an amazing place to work. Flat org structure. Lots of flexibility to jump into other roles. But the culture has changed since the acquisition. This review would’ve been a solid 4.5 before the acquisition, no I give it a 2.

Cons

Omnicom acquisition ruined the place. People are just disappearing with no explanation. Mass layoffs. Awful new leadership at Omnicom, though the Weber leadership tries their best to deal with the situation. Crap benefits from Omnicom.
