Words don’t describe how bad it is. They’re on their 3rd CEO in 3 years. There is zero culture/soul to the place. They can’t win any real new business, and they’ve had rolling layoffs for a year now. Avoid it at all costs!

CP+BLa is bleak. No more snacks no more perks no more office culture.

@CW1: CP+B LA isn’t doing any better. They’ve lost a good chunk of account. Recently fired their CCO and a few CDs, downsized the office (people wise and squarefeet wise), and are clinging to life.

I don’t work there, but know plenty of people who do/did.
