Interviewing for a PM role at McCann. What are everyone’s thoughts on the agency as a whole? Work / life balance? Culture?

They need a lot of work over there. Poor leadership & management. Weak structure at best. Not a lot of growth potential and a lot of the current PMs are massively undertrained. There are only a few good ones left. It's been a mass exodus in the last 6-8 months

Agreed on this. I’ve seen most of the strong PMs leave McCann in the last few months. The good ones left are overworked. They’re not able to replace the ones who leave because word gets around that it’s a struggling department. Poor leadership at the highest level. Stay away. I get the allure of working for one of the big shops but give them time to clean up before you go for it
