Pluspunten

My colleagues are great, they've been nothing but kind and comprehensive with me in this tumultuous experience of moving abroad to a new continent. The pace of work seems good (I've only been here for a week). And the office is indeed very charming.

Minpunten

Companies love words such as diversity and inclusion, but I don't think they really understand what it means. It's not just about the colour of your skin, it's also the different economical backgrounds of individuals from different countries. I too believe it's "fair" to offer the same package to everyone in the office, but at the same time, I know that people, specially from third world countries (a concept they don't seem to grasp because they assume everyone has the same level of accessibility, no matter how many times I try to explain this), have different needs. Instead of feeling contained during this process, I've been feeling left out in the cold. My problems don't matter because, at the end of the day, it's "fair", right?

Pluspunten

AKQA is a great line-item for your resumé. You'll work with excellent talent, and will (likely) get to work on some exciting things.

Minpunten

A lot of changes in the organization lead to a tangible decline following its acquisition by WPP. The "spark" that comes with a talented and exciting independent agency was noticeably lost – it began functioning more and more as a cog in a machine, leading to a lot of talented leadership leaving behind the Founder, as well as the loss of valuable clients. Limited transparency in career roadmaps and growth opportunities. Low pay considering the size of the organization (and its clients), no transparency regarding pay increase/bonus (if you get one at all). All things considered, if you're thinking about joining AKQA, I would (currently) approach it as a stepping stone in your career rather than a long-term home.
