Pros
Big budgets, free fruit, competitive salaries and a robust proprietary platform that does most of the financial work for you.
Cons
By far one of the worst working experiences I've ever had in my life. Executive leadership is a boys club of the worst kind, fostering a competitive and cut throat environment that is unpleasant and unhealthy at a minimum. Many of the "lifers" hold on to their piece of the pie by setting others up for failure. R/GA brands itself as being an organization that is creatively led and fosters a culture of collaboration. That is absolutely not true. Are they a very well-oiled and savvy company that lays off employees consistently to maintain high profit margins and constantly rebrands it's services in order to survive the marketplace? Yes. Advice to anyone thinking about working here: I know that the R/GA stamp on your resume is appealing, but the pain you have to go through working here really isn't worth it.
