Pros
Award-winning agency with great work and talent within. Some great people and the canteen is a good subsidised benefit.
Kontras
I was warned about RAPP before I joined, and now I warn others. It's very appealing from the outside, and I'm sure lots of people love the agency, but my experience was bitter. The culture was not what I hoped for (but I guess this depends on what account you work on). My line manager(s) were not interested in my personal progression, and didn't support me properly when I asked for it, which leaves me with bitter memories rather than pleasant ones about the company. From the moment I joined there were company meetings telling employees that payrises are delayed, and they they should also start to come into the office an extra day per week. I'm not against coming into the office, but management don't seem to think about how to communicate with or help their employees (a £5 lunch voucher won't cut it for most). Since I've joined my new agency, I've seen 4 people join from RAPP in 9 months, and we're only a small team.
