Pros

Private healthcare package (UK), great Head of Operations in London (he needs a medal)

Cons

Poor management, like a production line/factory, people are viewed as resource instead of humans/individuals, cliquey, SLT focused on their own gains and benefits: focus on their growth instead of entire company growth, poor strategic leads, poor division of teams (bias), ego-driven, broken “culture”, women are paid less for the same roles (from junior to SLT levels), poor talent uptake: constant lack of resource which puts insane pressure on existing employees due to poor/flippant/stagnant hiring approach and constant reliance on last-minute freelancers, long hours and low pay, traditional structure and brand offering: brand strategy only gets you so far in 2022, hard to get promoted (unless you are best buds with someone in a senior role), gentlemen’s club at the top: lack of diversity, lack of care for employees, misogynistic culture (give more room in meetings for women’s voices as men dominate the floor), empty/misleading promises, high turnover rate (at least one person left the company every single week), no understanding for internal developments needed to progress as an agency (too long and lost opportunities), fragmented teams/lack of consistent teams, poor processes that encourage poor outputs, poor technological support which adds pressure when working remotely, lack of innovation and new ideas, lack of transparency of internal developments (from internal teams and global), lack of collaboration and team play, acts like a studio for clients, not a full-service agency and thinks that the McCann name is enough to encourage talent: you need more than that. And collaborate more with other agencies in the McCann Health network instead of seeing them as competition: counterintuitive approach. Working in silos has never benefitted anyone.

Flexible and understanding company with great people

Cons

Impossible to get into the industry without a huge network. Every employee at this company you met would tell you how hard it was to get started.
