Pros

VMLY&R strives for radical levels of inclusion & belonging for their employees. Their commitment to meeting the client's goal at any cost is intensely exciting... at least, at first. The company's intention to do good and be connected with each other is palpable.

Kontras

Being client-billable, VMLY&R is always having to react to the market. Client leads tend to unilaterally overpromise, leading to death marches being the rule rather than the exception. (The clients are entitled babies, or a-holes, but I don't blame the company for that.) The company seems to be completely lost since the pandemic. Their desire to be woke seems to obscure their desire to be profitable. And yet, WPP has killed the company's individuality and productivity to the point it seems impossible to recover.

Pros

- I worked with some fabulous people. Many of my coworkers turned into lifelong friends. - Fun culture. There was always something fun happening in the office. - Some cool client work.

Kontras

- Not much flexibility, at least on my team. VML prides themselves as being flexible in terms of their hybrid work. However, many teams still do not follow to model and I was stuck on a rule following team with little to no flexibility. It all comes down to your manager and the team you're on whether you need to be in the office. - My manager was a super micromanager. It got so draining that I couldn't take it anymore. My manager made many rude and condescending comments over the years and tended to talk behind others backs, which I thought was very unprofessional. - I didn't get a raise in two years. In this economy, I had to look for a better paying job to pay my bills. - No room to grow in my career.
