Pluspunten

Excellent Creative Directors Nice open office with great views Good location

Minpunten

This is a PR agency that wants to be full service but lots of things at the current moment prevent this: Poor communications between internal departments. There are a lot of disconnects between what's been bought and what creative is supposed to do. Together the earned, paid, media team, project management team, account service team, and creative never know what is happening. Low budgets = low quality. The budgets promised to the client are too low to do high quality work. Dishonest when hiring. The creative recruitment team will promise you things to get you in the door. Then they don't happen. When you try to talk with them after you are hired they are MIA. There is no one else there HR?? to help deliver on these promises.

Thanks for your review. It's true that a large evolution from traditional PR to communications marketing is a big deal - and something that comes with a lot of excitement, innovation and a sense of fulfillment, but also learning curves. Your input is helpful as we further refine how we operate in this new model. I'm concerned about your feedback regarding broken promises after being hired and hope you'll consider reaching out to me to discuss it, so I have the opportunity to understand and address the situation. It's not something we want repeated. Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pluspunten

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Minpunten

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
