R/GA reviews

Management is a mess over there. The projects seem to be all over the place, there's no real structure. That's why this place is a sweatshop. If you are in a managing position, you are expected to direct a small team, attend meetings, concept and also execute on smaller tasks, which other junior positions can do, but instead, they expect you to do a lot in a ridiculous time frame. Why? Because they don't have budget to allocate other resources. Why? Because they mismanage projects from the ground up. Again, a lot of miscommunication happen in this place. Never going back there, and can walk away knowing that the rumors of this agency as a sweatshop are true.

Seriously the worst part was the egos of some senior people there. It feels like a cast system, where if you don't have the right title your ideas don't matter. The priority list for most cd's evaluating ideas is always; themselves, then r/ga, then the client, then the users. They really care more about winning awards than solving people's problems.
