Solid Internship - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Y&R Austin: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Enjoyed the people that worked here. Was given real work instead of just "intern-type" tasks

No cons come to mind. Great place to intern!

🔘Great Views 🔘Free Snacks 🔘Free on-site parking w 24hr access to downtown garage 🔘Casual work environment 🔘Nice-enough co-workers (not including the mgmt of the other side of the shared office space with a partner agency)

🔘No advancement opportunity 🔘No formal training on tools / tech and a lot of the workflows were formed by folks with little to no experience using newer project management platforms - get ready to love your Outlook inbox deluge 🔘Workforce tech is outdated, barely supported by IT 🔘Office desks are pretty much just long tables (5 workstations) with a 1-foot tall divider between you and the person across - lots of cross talk in this open office can be distracting 🔘Benefits and bonus opportunities are sparse 🔘Pay is limited for all departments unless you’ve shown decades of loyalty 🔘Little to no diversity which is a component of the continued loss of New / Add On Business pitches 🔘They harp on how people are their #1 asset, but this also means that 1) the work / values aren’t motivating 2) you WILL face office politics 🔘Management levels were greatly stripped a few years back and/or moved to other WPP subsidiaries. The Management that was left behind wasn’t trained to be actual Leaders - they can manage work flows, but not lead people through career growth nor lead the office through the greater political realm of being a subsidiary that advocates for its employees.
