Hilton reviews

Very toxic senior leadership, and generally very top down approach of management, especially when it comes to performance management and career progression with very unclear criteria for performance and progression. Some people therefore end up focusing on managing up, at the expense of collaboration with their peers.

Dependent on team, but for most marcomms team members, hours are often long and tedious with lots of travel (which can be fun, depends what phase of life you are in). In many cases Director levels and above don't do much (e.g: leave the office by 4pm to go home or to happy hour) but expect Senior Managers and below to stay late, always be available and single handedly manage agency teams. The environment was highly political and full of favoritism. The reward was high profile campaigns and a sense of pride to work for "cool" company -- pre covid, fancy team dinners/happy hours, snacks and swag were all the norm. Also, they severely underpay for marcomms rolles in the DC area. The travel perks and "glamour" keep people interested in working there.
