Pros

Remote Great experience that you can take elsewhere for way more money.

Cons

I'm not sure where to start. I loved my experience for the first 80% of my time here. Great accounts, great people, remote, really cannot complain. I moved to the worst client at this company BY FAR. Toxic, insane demands, lost sleep, ended up on anxiety medication actually. I am so so so thankful I got out when I did. This was the most high stakes job for the equivalent of $40K a year after taxes for a multi billion dollar client that did not give one care about the Dentsu employees. It was the biggest slap in the face ever. So many people departed by the time I resigned from the company last year. An absolute train wreck disaster! I'd only recommend working here if you are entry level and need experience for $12 an hour. Otherwise, run for the hills.

Pros

I’ve been with dentsu for 4 years and I’ve really enjoyed my time. I’ve learned a lot, and worked with very smart people internally and had had interesting clients externally. Making the jump to a big agency was lethal in my professional career. This company offers great flexibility, and awesome PTO. I was able to get promoted, however promotions take a long time.

Cons

Some clients are extremely demanding. Long nights where the clients want to activate something that day or next day and our own internal teams don’t have our back and are also pushing for out of control activations. In my 4 years here, we had one annual salary raise which is not acceptable or fair to everyone. The market rate is way above what we’re getting paid. Dentsu needs to keep up as they’re on the lower end of the pay range and people are leaving because we’re losing hope of ever getting a salary raise when we could job hop and easily get 20% more. Truly disappointing since I have enjoyed my time here. The company has lost major clients and it’s difficult to feel hope for any promotions or raises.
