R/GA reviews

Poorly organized, lack of centralized vision, departments are too siloed which results in lack of collaboration, land grab for billable hours so team members are discouraged from collaborating, only a handful of interesting accounts that get all of the attention in the agency, constant meetings (about 75% of the day is typical), running outside in the cold to get from one meeting to another

Office camaraderie exists within your working and desk groups. It doesn't naturally happen even though you travel in the same space. I think it's easy to get lost in the mix, self-motivated diligence to making yourself visible is key to your success and your satisfaction. Work-life balance is dependant on the team. For me, it has been a wonderful balance. There are long days occasionally, but most of the time, as long as you work well, you don't have to stay late.
