Not great for experienced hires - Senior Consultant Reply Employee Review

You'll work for one of the reply group companies, most are very small, and the focus is constantly on getting new clients and marketing. Tech is a afterthought, despite all their marketing hype. Lots of graduates! 90% of my company is fresh grads, while the social side is good they are just used as cheap disposable resources for clients or on the bench doing some marketing work. Experienced hires are rare, and usually treated as 2nd class. They will only promote grads, so if you are coming in as experienced make sure you ask for the top end of the salary band as you will never get any promotion and made to work 2x more than internally promoted grads of the same level. Partners and managers are all very inexperienced, favouritism and politics is rife. (It is a majority Italian family owned company after all)
