Pros
Flexible working Free equipment Speckles of good people lost in a behemoth.
Cons
It's a behemoth that needs to be dismantled as it is an incumbent. It swallows up companies in one go and HR is overloaded so much so, new contracts with the company and perks will be delayed upto one year. It's board is careless, shareholder driven for the sake of its parent company WPP. It is an elitist company for sure, conspiracy worthy. Zillenals and later disregard this company at all costs for your sanity and job security. You will never be valued, regardless of sprinkling of perks. HR are there to cover up the boards mess and they are regularly stressed out. You will 100% be ignored for your talents and opinions on technology if your working for a subsidiary that has been bought out by WTC/WPP. The board keeps puppets in place and ignores any technological wisdom of any staff they have placed. On number of occasions the board overruled the MD and got rid of around 50 people on occasion for profit sake, foregoing the knowledge that profitability would not be achieved in 2023, but still pushed for profit in 2023. Like 1% chance it would. The board's vision for profitability and were it intersects with technology is crackpot at best. They lack technology experience at board level and never get off their high horse to meet any of the little people on the ground because they keep swallowing new companies up on a quarterly basis. WPP makes this so, and what's even funnier is the WPP MD's mantra for carbon neutrality in his town hall meetings, makes him look like Kalus Schwab (WEF), or at least preaching from his trough. They also underpay your pension by a sneaky 0.5% and never will admit to it as daylight robbery.
