Pros

Great work / life balance. The office managers understand that employees should have a life outside of the office and it is encouraged. There are a lot of "good" people here that mean well.

Cons

Compensation is difficult to increase. Once you get in, expect only 3 to 5% each year - at most! Also, if you want to move up in the firm, over time, you will need to go to New York or London. Also, cross team discussions and/or cross sales are few and far between - the firm is very siloed. Politics are also a major issue in the office. Many managing directors simply do what is asked of them but lack leadership and accountability.

Pros

Supportive and collaborative marketing leadership team. Leadership welcomed new ideas and outside perspectives. Clear direction from leadership, modern NYC office, and strong investment in marketing operations, technology, and innovation. I had the opportunity to meet with John Doyle several times. He always came across as decisive, approachable, and genuinely passionate about the business and its people. That tone carried through much of the leadership culture. I also enjoyed working for John Jones. He was a strong leader who set clear objectives, communicated priorities well, and created realistic expectations for the team. That clarity helped the organization stay focused while still encouraging innovation and new ideas.

Cons

Like many large enterprise organizations, decision-making could move slowly at times due to the matrixed structure and number of stakeholders involved across business units.
