Pros

Nice offices, lots of biscuits and nice coffee machines.

Cons

Where to start? A huge blame culture, naming and shaming, bullying is practically encouraged. Really is a 'them' (senior management) and 'us' (the workers). Poor pay, much loved than average. Staff turnover represents a revolving door, people leave one week and replacements join the next. Don't put yourself through this.

Pros

I had nice colleagues and they had some good free food (def not enough if you are a career driven person)

Cons

Bad management, terrible salary, they will work you to the bone but don't give anything in return. Very strict company with some very old fashioned management style. I quit at the first opportunity I had...

Pros

There are barely any pros besides a few good people and some nice events. Hope the good guys get out; agencies are modernising now. It doesn't have to be this way.

Cons

The senior leaders are scarily arrogant and out of touch with how modern businesses works. Seriously, I have never encountered anything like it. It's the 50s at Havas Life Medicom. For some reason they think they are doing us a favour simply by giving us a job. Crazy hours, pressure, rudeness and all for pretty poor pay. High turnover and a level of misery across junior workers. A two tier approach in which bosses are gods and the rest of us are treated as lowly worker bees. So glad that I'm leaving.
