Good client base, part of a large international network (provides great opportunities for collaboration), good team management
Cons
The company positions itself in the analytics and insights field but starting and 1 to 2-year-in salaries (although very reasonable) are closer to those of a communications company. Nonetheless, opportunities for growth are substantial.

Thank you for your review and I'm so glad you're having a good experience here. If you haven't already, I hope you'll take time to review the information I emailed to all employees this summer about our compensation and advancement philosophy and approach so you can see the process and thought that we put into setting salaries. I encourage you to reach out to your manager and/or local HR if you have any questions. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR
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.
Cons
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.
