Pros

They pay well They promote quickly Located in central London

Cons

Team is mainly doing basic tracking work or simple qual Work is completed largely by rote Lip-service paid to staff development (see above) They win work by selling cheaply and overload individuals with projects. Far beyond what other agencies do. Partners are constantly creating new working practices or processes, largely as a means of avoiding their failings. Partners have little respect for their team. This rubs off on long-term employees. It brings out the worst in people They resent work-from-home despite claiming flexible policies during the interview process. Complete lack of a positive workplace culture despite claiming otherwise

Pros

Great team - supportive, friendly, knowledgeable. Good work-life balance and great projects.

Cons

Not so much of a con as just a fact - the learning curve is steep but you learn A LOT and once you're over it, you're in a great position.

Pros

Interesting clients means interesting projects to work on.

Cons

First red flag was on day one when I realized that there was ZERO training so I had to feel my way around processes and what was expected from the various teams. Speaking of teams, they are all silo'd and competing for revenue so there is no sense of real collaboration. Toxic environment with too much micro-management from execs who don't respect valuable input or POV dif from their's. Several recruiters mentioned the company is known to churn new employees every 6-8 months.
