Pros

You work on global iconic brands and the people are such a delight to work with. Everyone is so nice particularly if you put the effort in both work and personal wise it will be reciprocated.

Cons

Can feel cliquey and hard to get into if you’re new. There are a lot of long tenured people there who have established relationships. The growth opportunities for Program and Account management isn’t as great as the creative fields where there a clear path to growth, my advice is truly it is what you make of it. There’s growth in other ways outside of lateral movement and promotion.

Pros

- Exposure to Major Brands: You’ll get to work with some of the biggest brands in the industry—great for your portfolio and career growth. - Exceptionally Talented Team: Designers and creative specialists are top-notch. - Strong Industry Reputation: Lots of awards and industry notoriety—especially if you're on the right projects.

Cons

- Poor Work-Life Balance: Expect long hours and little personal time. The culture subtly encourages work obsession, and burnout is real. - HR Prioritizes Optics: As other reviews have pointed out, the HR team often seems more focused on protecting the company's image than addressing employee concerns. - Cliquey Culture: The work environment can feel exclusive or political, especially if you’re not part of Design or the Account teams. - Lack of Process: Project Management is expected to drive the work, yet are often overlooked & undervalued. The lack of structure just compounds the chaos.

Pros

A lot of cool brands and wicked work comes out of the studio. A lot of lovely colleagues who make stressful times just that bit easier

Cons

A lot of stress. A lot of hierarchical toxicity. A lot of BS when it comes to hitting/missing target.
