This place isn’t a company, it’s a reality show where office politics win over actual performance. You don’t grow here by doing great work — you survive by keeping the right people happy, staying quiet, and playing along with the internal games.
Skills? Optional. Ethics? Risky. What really counts is how well you flatter the right people and make them feel like they’re in charge. If you’re the kind who just wants to contribute meaningfully and stay out of drama, you’re likely the next target.
Sabotage is real. Some will set you up to fail and then act surprised when it happens. If you’re not part of the inner circle, you’re expendable. People have been pushed out under questionable circumstances — no support, no fairness.
Meanwhile, if you’re one of the favourites? You’re untouchable. Mistakes are swept under the rug. Accountability doesn’t apply. It’s a two-tier system — one rule for them, another for everyone else.
Leadership? A handful of people who think working in big-name agencies gives them license to run things unchecked. They surround themselves with those who enable the dysfunction and deflect responsibility.
Don’t expect to shine here. If you show promise or speak up — even constructively — you’ll be seen as a threat. They don’t want thinkers. They want followers.
If you’re someone who enjoys navigating politics and prioritizing perception over substance, this might be your scene. But if you care about genuine teamwork, career growth, or professional integrity — look elsewhere.
Final thought:
You don’t get ahead here by working hard. You get ahead by keeping up appearances and playing the game.
