      greedy cliquey title-hungry pretenders

      Pros

      the only pros come out of the fact that most of the management is so incompetent at everything but promoting themselves, that you can get quite a lot done under the radar. will no doubt continue to run its PR spin to keep a number of blue-chip clients paying through the nose for pure mediocrity, with flashes of brilliance that spite the default culture.

      Cons

      corporate, rushed, corner cutting, wannabe and myopic management. zero culture. credit stealing, goal-hanging nightmare. computer says no attitude from HR. nightmare to get anything done through layers of bureaucracy.

      Good agency, but will fall apart if not careful

      Pros

      - The people are, by and large, world class. They work very hard and are really passionate about delivering, from MD and ECD down to juniors. - The ECD is inspirational, the best asset R/GA London has. He is arguably their key point of difference versus other agencies - Forward thinking company as evidenced by ambitious plans in EMEA, with Business Transformation, Accelerator programme etc - The above means that there are a lot of career opportunities for people to do different things and in different places

      Cons

      - The never ending focus on margin and revenue puts a strain on salaries and staff hiring, harms the work, hurts retention and even things like the entertainment budget. - A culture of hiring "someone's mate" or defaulting to ex-AKQAers who turn out to be either average or culturally problematic has proved difficult in the past. - Culture of misogyny in creative from some of the most senior people. One or two very senior men with consistently awful behaviour are indulged because they are deemed to be talented, but this has a toxic effect on the business - no-one is THAT good. - Exec team seem overstretched with EMEA growth targets and run the risk of drifting away from the "doers" as a result. Also means decisions simply don't get made, which creates chaos.

      Worst experience ever.

      Pros

      the devs and designers were pretty cool, i've met some good people while i was there.

      Cons

      Worked on the startup here in Buenos Aires, it was one of the worst companies i've ever worked. They never respected my vacations time. They dont pay for overtime but they demand you to do it. Also it was a very low salary per month, and the people in charge of the office was very disrespectful. Im pretty sure that U.S. offices are nothing like this. My comment its about Buenos Aires.
