Nepotism and bad leadership

Anonymous employee

Pros

Used to be a great place to work. Friendly people, with focus on company culture and work-life balance. Lots to learn if you have a client with big budget and willing to test innovative new features.

Cons

The good leaders have left. Some teams are stuck with incompetent leaders who only know how to talk and protect their own image, with minimal skills and zero care for team members' welfare. Physical and mental health are at stake here - it is only a matter of time before people burn out and either suffer or quit. Headcount wasted on incompetent people, so the capable ones end up with extra workload to make up for it. The nepotism here is real, so you might end up working with someone with no skills and a bad attitude but will never face consequences for it. Ask around and find out more about the specific team you are interested in to truly know if this place is worth joining.

Pros

Backed by WPP, one of the largest firms in the world because of this, they have some big time clients working with them.

Cons

I would say the individuals’ experience is highly dependent on the account that you’re working on but based the overall vibes are: - There is a very cultish behaviour among the employees in the company. Like if you’re from one account it means you can’t mingle with individuals from other accounts, neither is there any opportunity for you to do so. It’s also very hard for you to mingle with others from other agencies even tho you share the same pantry. - It’s hot desking and there is a need to go to the office 2-3x a week, but the facilities provided are atrocious. If you’re lucky, you get to use monitors that are so outdated, they either come with a VGA port or have screen resolution from the 1990s. Plus, you also have to bring your own charging cable, because it’s not provided at all the hot-desking stations. The office is gloomy, dusty and with holes in the ceilings. - Equipment provided for work is also the bare minimum. Received only the laptop and although it is used, it’s so laggy, it crashes every time i open excel and there are no headphones or mouse provided. If you’re planning to join or have saw the job posting for a position in B2B for a particular account, I’d say please reconsider these facts and then make your decision: - The main lead is very passive aggressive and a micromanager. So expect comments to be critical, clueless, unrealistic and cryptic. - Culture fostered in the team is to speak in a highly condescending manner. - It is super messy, there are no processes and there is no structure to doing things, it is concocted on the spot, mainly because it’s changed hands multiple times in a year. - Communication with teammates is almost non-existent, people work in silo. - The work you’re doing is basically whatever the lead wants, with no logic or rationale. - There is a lot of backstabbing here from all seniority levels.
