Sink or swim culture. The leadership team attempts to make an effort to build some culture but it’s severely lacking compared to other places. Major politics are also at play and many people are looking to get out.

Personally love the strategy team and the culture. Jonathan has pushed hard to make the strategy team a bigger part of the agency and he’s been successful there.

In terms of learning it depends a bit on your level. If you’re an associate planner or planner level you’ll get some hand holding. Senior and up you’re basically on your own, as you should be.

@grey1 what do you mean when you say major politics are at play?

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
