Pros: really good creative leadership, some new biz momentum, have been hiring a ton, fairly stable clients (though a bit boring), there are a couple of good account leaders

Cons: everyone is ridiculously exhausted from 2020, the place is very understaffed (WPP loves to do that), leadership can be a bit tone deaf/dismissive of legitimate employee concerns at times

Wild card: it’s now unclear if the merger will happen, literally nothing has changed. We’ll see if it stays that way.

Agreed to all of the above! Also would like to say that I really genuinely like all the people I work with. This agency has less big ego problems than other places.

The general trend at my firm has been that most folks start work around 10 am. Even when going into the office, most arrive close that 10 am mark. Is this how it is with you? Or is this more of a NY thing?
