Just a recruiting company ad. If you’re not getting the promotion you think you deserve you have options, either work harder and try again or convince someone else you’re worth it and go work for them.
Looks like she’s done with option 1 and made her mind up to try option 2. I didn’t see anything creepy in there.
The baked beans ad that popped up next was a cracker. “Not for astronauts” [:D]

Yeah, I don't see what's creepy about it at all. It's a job posting website ad. It's exactly what I would expect, especially given the reality of today's employment market where people don't get promotions unless they leave for another company. It's an example of how employers are, by and large, pathetic at retaining talent.
But I'll save that employment practices rant for another day and just say that you misspelled the Atlanta team's name. I think it's actually the "Barves", not the "Braves"... [:D]

They are playing on emotional response to the stereo type that there is a patriarchy denying women earned accomplishments on account of their gender. Like many, many ads it is shameless in playing on people's fears and angst.
I think it only triggers this reaction in people who are looking for a gender-based reason to it. Flip the genders and the commercial plays just the same.

The only comforting lighting comes from a phone message that Clare receives showing her 'the light' in a new job interview proposal. And a green (not red, as is typical in US offices) "EXIT" sign as the camera backs away from the office area.
I've seen green exit signs here and there. Granted, red is typical, but green is not really uncommon in my regional experiences.
