How are career development opportunities at Ogilvy?

Household name. High profile clients.

Long hours, toxic work environment, rude clients, extremely high turnover, no growth opportunities in the ops/pm department at least, siloed so you never meet people on other clients or parts of the business you don’t work on, no growth plan.

The people you will work with day to day are amazing. They are the reason I stay at this job at my low to mid-level position. The benefits are also pretty good, especially if you will be using parental/maternity leave.

You are often required to work overtime with no additional pay or compensation if you are a salaried employee. And even if you are hired as a remote worker, you will likely be required to come into the office a few times a week. There is very little opportunity for career development and growth if you enter at a junior or mid-level position. For example, I have been at the company for 3 years with no conversations had about my specific growth/development, and often times I am left without a manager/supervisor since the company fills leadership positions from outside the company (and it’s a rotating door) instead of promoting from within. There is also a lot of constantly change happening at the leadership level overall. This impacts the day to day work of the lower level employees: policies are constantly in flux and new mandatory procedures are enacted every couple of months. There is currently a huge push for AI which I worry may jeopardize many company jobs, especially within the creative department.

global-level platform, diverse corporate culture, very good for future career development.

low pay, very difficult to have a raise.

Excellent work opportunites as well as opportunity to grow your career

Pay not as per industry standards

Great team and good career opportunities

None that I can think of.

Ogilvy is a large, global organization that allows you to interact with a wide variety of clients from different industries. This provides a great opportunity to see and experience many different things and markets. Additionally, you get to work with various platforms, such as Salesforce, Mailchimp, and others, which are essential for the field. There is unlimited knowledge and resources available, as the company is AI-oriented. The team is very friendly, and the overall atmosphere is great.

The company is located outside the city and isn’t easily accessible by metro, which makes commuting less convenient. The working hours are not very flexible, and remote work is limited to just four days per month. Additionally, the workload is quite heavy due to a large number of clients with diverse needs. Lastly, there are limited opportunities for growth and career advancement.

Good time off and flex place

Lack of communication and career advancement

Great work environment Beautiful Culture Good career growth

Sometimes lack of work which leads to a lot of free time

Good salary compensation and benefits

No clear career grwth path and the admin systems are outdated

Good training was provided and support. Good recognition.

No work life balance since you will be handling multiple projects simultaneously with little breaks in between.
