Vantaggi

Really smart people that are actually cool and fun, lots of good accounts to work on and lots of opportunity - if you take advantage of it. It is also a pretty flexible environment - no one really cares where you work from, what hours you work, etc. as long as your clients are happy, your teams are happy and you "make it happen"

Svantaggi

Sometimes work-life balance can be hard, but after a few years you learn how to manage that. Also, I get that it sometimes can be a crazy environment, and if you need a lot of structure this place probably isn't for you - but in my eyes, the lack of structure that other people reference in their reviews leads to innovation and opportunity (think entrepreneurship). For people like me that happen to thrive in ambiguity and change (and find it exciting) you will excel in an environment like WCG/W2O (or whatever we are called this week- this is where the ambiguity part comes in). I do think when you come in as a new employee, we pay above the industry standard, but after you have been here a while, I'm not sure the pay is as competitive as raises can sometimes be lackluster. I know peers that have left to go to other agencies and are now making 20-30% more than I do, which kind of sucks.

Vantaggi

What pulled me back to WCG was Jim Weiss, the founder and CEO of W2O Group (WCG, a W20 Group company) whom over the last 14 years has developed a culture based on the same core values that I live by everyday, professionally. Jim is authentic. His approach is transparent. The result is an award-winning set of companies with jaw-dropping talent, who make an impact in the healthcare, technology and consumer global brands’ industries everyday. As Jim says, “ultimately, we are in the business to partner with our clients to enhance their businesses.” I’d even take that a step further and say that we don’t just enhance businesses, we enhance lives -- the result is growth -- personal and professional, inside and out. I’m happy to get to work with such amazing people so that we can enhance our clients’ businesses, enhance their lives, our lives, our world.

Svantaggi

Because I have children, I have to drive and parking is a challenge/costly. The benefits do offset this one con. If you're coming from the city or the South Bay, there's plenty of transportation options.

Vantaggi

If you are a very very specific type of person, This place will treat you like a rock star. Also, you will likely learn a lot here.

Svantaggi

So here is the low down, getting at the root of all the negative reviews. WCG is a place that builds its professional culture on people being strong individuals who take initiative and be their own advocate. Most people are given a lot of autonomy to forge their own relationships and build their own in-company business; and if you do this effectively, you are rocketed up and touted as a rockstar. Those are the ONLY people who are valued at this company. It is entrepreneurialism at its most extreme. Those who don't follow that mold are literally fodder for the entrepreneurs with huge personalities and even huger egos. It doesn't matter if you are awesome within your own niche. If you are not rallying the masses as a leader or generating business momentum, then you are just a tool to be used. This is where the cliques, favoritism and politics that everyone mentions come in as well. Since the interpersonal structure is centered around these select ego-centric entrepreneurs, everyone else is made to fall in line with their own 'leader.' And each group ends up sticking to their own...
