Pros
- A few individuals genuinely try to improve the culture. - Exposure to some well-known clients (though projects themselves may not be inspiring).
Kontras
- Omnicom drains the agency of energy and authenticity, it’s soul-sucking and bureaucratic. - Leadership is ego-driven. Senior titles often believe their way is the only way, and collaboration suffers. - The company still clings to work and reputation from decades ago - HR is ineffective and at times unresponsive. Their support is almost non-existent when issues arise. The worst I’ve ever experienced at a company. - Client work is generally uninspiring. - Company culture is outdated. “Culture” is equated with a Thursday drinks trolley rather than building meaningful connections or inclusivity. - Pay freezes have lasted over two years with no transparency - Office policy feels performative: mandatory 3 days in-office, but staff were initially scheduled randomly across days so it was clear this was just to support the canteen - not to foster actual teamwork. - Overall lack of care for employees other than the ones at the top.
