Is it true that WPP underpays creatives? I interviewed for a CD position at Grey last year and they wouldn't budge past 180K - and ghosted me when I pushed for 200K.

I’ve worked for 3 of the big holding companies. In my experience WPP was the worst as far as promotions, pay, and other benefits

When I worked at Grey we used to ‘laugh’ that WPP stands for why pay people. It was awful in myriad ways. Pay. Culture. Management. Just awful, miserable, stupid place.
