Hi there. While wellness perks are legitimately important and many people like a good happy hour, neither can make up for a a perceived lack of community. I'm sorry you felt that way and I've taken note of your comment. On diversity, firmwide we are committed to diversifying our workforce and we've made some progress but there is more to do, I agree, as would leadership. Thanks for your comments. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director US HR

Pros

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.
