Digitas Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Digitas

Pros – Great place for recent grads, fun people, fun atmosphere and work.

Cons – Not the best pay, big company, would like to have more opportunities for promotion.

Former Employee – worked at Digitas full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – The most serious-minded, well-run, efficient yet fun company I've had the pleasure to work for. In fact, folks from my "class" call it "Bronner High." Digitas is an entirely different company. I was there when Bronner pissed off the advertising community by winning agency of the year. I left Bronner in 1996.

Cons – We tended to over-analyze the creative, often neutering it in the process.

Advice to Senior Management – Should have kept the name Bronnercom. Why would you expunge all reference to the brainchild, the Oz behind the curtain? Ogilvy is still called Ogilvy for a reason. I'll never get that.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Digitas

Pros – There are some really talented people at this company and great opportunities to learn from your peers. The learning & development programs are a definite plus, whether it involves bringing in speakers/teachers from the outside or sharing knowledge from within.

Cons – Transparency between upper/middle management to lower management was poor. Opportunities for growth were there, but only if you knew the right people and could navigate the political waters.

Advice to Senior Management – See above: Create Greater transparency between upper/middle management to lower management. Encourage career growth and new experiences (especially when explicitly requested).

Former Employee – worked at Digitas as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Learned a lot, great networking opportunity. Really expanded my knowledge and experience with project management.

Cons – You really have to like advertising. Things can be slow. You have to be a self-starter.

Pros – • Digitas has a fun work environment, filled with a lot of smart, hardworking, and dedicated people

• Creative/Marketing/UI/Technology/S&A etc are all equally important/valued to a project's success
• Emphasis is on work being smart and strategic first, "creative" second

Cons – • Creative department management is a boy's club
• Easy to get lost in the shuffle unless you have an advocate/ambassador in senior management
• Company hires primarily type-A personalities which results in too many egos, competition, politics
• Emphasis is on work being smart and strategic first, "creative" second

Advice to Senior Management – Boys in senior management are the problem.
