This insight is both anecdotal and outdated (6+ years ago) but I was told by someone I met in the Chicago PE scene that WPP were known to comp a touch below market by position level and be a very hardworking place, but the upside is they’re very open to timely promotions for those that put in the work.

Others will probably have better and more helpful recent intel.
