Cool projects but they still have a lot to work on
Dec 4, 2022 - Senior Strategist in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- You get to work on really meaningful projects for big brands - Meeting and working with lots of smart people - Variety to work on lots of different types of projects in a global level as well
Cons
- Onboarding process is a mess - Lack of diversity, they only place the POC's in junior positions... try to find a senior POC in leadership - Managers don't have time to train/support you, they're spread so thin across so many different projects - Managers can be a bit toxic, depending which portfolio you're placed on ("if i have to work this much this week, why can't you?" - whose fault is it that they are given so many projects they can't manage their own time?) - People can be cliquey, esp 'the original interbranders'
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Smart, nice junior staff but poor management, zero training or guidance
Dec 19, 2022 - Strategy Consultant in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- smart, nice people for the most part, especially among junior staff - week off between Christmas and New Year's
Cons
- no training or guidance for junior staff - managers who have no business being managers - senior management who put down employees, disregard ideas, make junior staff feel inadequate and uncomfortable - low and unfair pay, lackluster health benefits, basically no 401k - expectation & accolades for employees who work significantly more than 40 hours and on weekends
Continue readingThank you for taking the time to share your thoughts – we always welcome feedback and want to use it to learn and improve. Please know that we do not condone disrespectful or hurtful behavior – from senior management or anyone – and certainly don’t want our junior staff to feel inadequate. We take your comments seriously and will look into this. We would also like to address some of your comments as we don’t believe they are fully accurate: 1. Interbrand New York runs an annual survey asking our employees for their feedback across all facets of the business. Our survey results have improved across the board and year over year for the past three years. Specifically, our “Engagement Index”, and “Intent to Stay” were all well over 80% 2. We recognize that more needs to be done around training and to that point last year we launched an 8 week on-boarding program for all hires called 'Interbrand 101’s', where we have weekly live sessions covering all areas of the business. We will continue to work on training and up-skilling of our people. 3. We have a framework called Pathways that lays out career paths and helps the employee and manager guide their development. 4. We take people management very seriously at Interbrand and have a mandatory six-month training program for all of our managers. 5. We have moved to transparent salary bands that we regularly review, putting us at the mid-level of comparable companies in terms of pay competitiveness. 6. We have a robust panel of health benefits that are managed by Omnicom, and a number of additional perks and discounts covering everything from mental wellness to an annual education stipend. 7. We have a 401K plan that is managed by Fidelity and every full-time employee is eligible to contribute; there is a discretionary match that Interbrand is committed to match each year as we did this year. 8. We always encourage employees to raise any issues during their time here with HR or anyone on the Leadership team. Again, we’re sorry that this was your experience and wish you all the best in your next role.
