Ventajas
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.
Desventajas
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.
