Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry you didn't feel you could find balance here. I know we have high expectations and work hard. We are definitely listening and actively making changes based on employee feedback, which we now collect every 3-4 months. Our new Livewell (wellness) campaign is a good example, including our recently announced "Dawn 'till Dusk" (no) email policy and Whil, our meditation and wellness ap. In terms of company strategy, yes it has evolved with our times and we continue to look for ways to ensure consistent sharing with all staff. We appreciate your review.

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.
