Dentsu

When at the office, my day consist of meetings which are usually in short scrum spirts or usually 30+ minutes. In person meetings usually involve a review of projects and the upcoming task to be tackled.
I am usually learning new strategies and resources that will be handling these task. We discuss changes that have occurred within the company and/or department.
Since the company has gone through C -level changes, the culture is slowly changing, however, they have already implemented a "take the time when you need it policy". This allows employees to take time off when they need it as long as it is approved by management. 
The difficult part of the job is getting internal resources available to schedule implementation work. Some resources have a longer wait time than others. 
The most enjoyable part of the job is having different brands under the parent company that you can go to and meet other folks.

Overall I was treated well at Dentsu. While it took a while to go from permalance to full time, ultimately promises were kept, even after original managers moved on.

The biggest problem with Dentsu is that there is a huge "stay in your lane" mentality.  Mid management gets visibly annoyed when suggestions are expressed outside of the purview of your job description.  Strong-willed and senior employees won't be dissuaded, however, it's very demoralizing to younger employees.

Compensation is on the lower side of the industry standard. Employee perks such as cell phone reimbursement have been slashed multiple times to the point where they'd be better off including it in salary rather than calling attention to how little they reimburse.

Politics play a role everywhere, but at Dentsu it doesn't seem as bad as other agencies.

Summary - Decent place to work, but I wouldn't plan on making your entire career there.

I actually really love Dentsu it’s a good company lots of benefits what makes it bad is the management and the culture most of management only cares about the advancement of themselves and only seek to help people who brown nose promotions have nothing to do with hard work it’s all about Politics. You can be the best on you’re team and they will make sure you stay stagnant and never give you a promotion or a raise. It’s like high school how the management conduct themselves there are so many talented hard working professionals and they are all overlooked because they don’t kiss the behind of the fragile managers. You can learn a ton from this company but don’t look forward to advancement.

Training is at best lackluster, although the majority of the time, it just does not exist.  No structure to this at all, no support after initial shadowing sessions, and thrown in at the deep end.  Advancement for overseas specialists is incredibly limited, and those based in the US/Canada are prioritized regardless of aptitude, ability or performance.  The company seems to expect you to be on call 24/7, and should the next shift not arrive, you have to continue working until someone can be found.  This often involves working double shifts.

Overall, it has been a great place to work.  There has been significant growth over the last 3+ years, which allows for a lot of opportunity to learn, grow and make a mark in the longer term process and efficiency building. 

The hardest part is change management with teams trying new ways to manage day to day tasks.  Getting teams to embrace change and to think of more efficient and effective ways to do their day to day tasks, is a challenge. 

My co-workers have been awesome.  Everyone is willing to help and look out for each other.

The client accounting department of DAN is a great place to work to hone in on your accounting skills. There is great work life balance and the major stakeholders (leadership team), although global, care about its employees in relation to the company's goals. When office changes and challenges arise, a bit more dedication and commitment is required to reach the intended goal. Overall I like working here because of the additional skills that I've attained. Compensation is average.

I liked DAN because of the work sponsored happy hour that we had every Thursday. Everyone is pretty much cool, however, please do not expect a raise or a promotion. They will get you to work very hard for a reward and will never give it to you. I worked at the front desk and I am very sociable. Many team members vented to me about their problems in the office. Unfortunately, everyone seem to have the same problem: snotty clients and false promises. But the work place is very pleasant.
