Havas Media Reviews

Pros

Very good company. High learning curve. Get to connect with multiple depts and understand their job. Cross team collaboration. Respectful colleagues and good treatment. Access to learning material of other markets i.e APAC, Americas, Europe. Access to brand case studies. Regular webinars with all major platforms such as Facebook and native platforms. Flat work culture.

Cons

Hmm can't think of any

Pros

My managers have taken an interest in furthering my career and exposing me to new chances and opportunities. There is a somewhat corny effort to make everyone feel like a part of the team, but I've grown to actually appreciate that sort of thing. Better to work somewhere that tries.

Cons

Criticisms are not handled directly. Supervisors will communicate with you over a teams chat for 99% of communications but will say nothing and just cc directors on emails when they think you've not met expectations rather than addressing it with you directly. Expectations are rarely clearly defined, but rather talked over leaving you to interpret implication. Onboarding efforts are very much up to timing. If it's a busy time or clients are demanding you can expect to just have to figure things out, but that's not anything insurmountable.

Pros

This job is great for someone who is just entering media. A lot of exposure to some of the best brands in the industry and a lot of clients with big budgets.

Cons

Rather than hiring where needed (junior staff), this company keeps leadership happy and does not reward or promote those doing the work. There is minimal support or work life balance
