Pluspunten

Fun people to work with because of same age group / generation. Made a few good friends from different walks of life. Somewhat decent benefits to 'feed' us for our excruciating work that we do. Depending on which client you support, you will get some if not, lots of goodies for take home.

Minpunten

Your title/rank doesn't mean a thing! Ridiculously low pay considering the amount of work we do. It also depends on which department and client you support. You're treated like a slave! What is lunch break? Oh, and be prepared to go to the office at odd hours when everyone at your side of the world is still asleep. Better yet, don't sleep! Some coworkers are snotty divas who think they own you and boss you around-the-clock even though you don't report to them. Managers are empathic, but that's about it. Not a lot of mentorship throughout and advancement within the company is sparse. Either suck it up and wait for your review and hope for the best, or they wait for you to quit. Raise is also a laughable amount no matter how long and how hard you've worked.

While I'm quite confident that we're nowhere near treating employees like "slaves" (and I'll save that history lesson for another day), your feedback does not fall on deaf ears. While the professional services world and client work can make for some unpredictable schedules and sporadic workloads, we try to make sure employees have the right opportunities to find the type of balance that's important to them. It's something we're always trying to improve. I also have to acknowledge that you're not alone in your feedback about our review process. We tried something new this year and have just finished the formal process of receiving feedback from all staff that will help us evolve our reviews further. I'm excited about the path we'll be taking forward. Thanks for your time. 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.
