Pros
Interbrand remains the top player in the industry. You will work with the sharpest colleagues and top-notch clients (Fortune 50, big tech etc.). If you want to do consulting/brand strategy, Interbrand is truly the place to be. You will work on impactful projects that make you feel satisfied with the work you do (client's genuinely seek our input, decks don't just die in email inboxes). Interbrand has experienced a lot of growth in recent years and continues to be trending up. Employees are bright, kind, and the type of people you genuinely want to be friends with (this is so important in such a team-based environment). Interbrand really gives you the room to grow and push if that's what you want to do - it some ways (although we're part of Omnicom) it feels like a smaller, entrepreneurial environment. Lastly, there's really strong leadership that respects you as a member of the team and always keeps in mind your goals and helps you get there.
Cons
Sounds unlikely - but there's really nothing major. Minor things - but the subscription IT service that Omnicom has is not great (classic mediocre enterprise IT support - waiting on hold for a long time, playing phone tag to get a hold of someone etc.). Hours can be a tad unpredictable - but you'll have that anywhere in the client services world. Also, if you have a conflict or a Dr.'s appointment etc. everyone is respectful and understands.
Pros
- colleagues - work, project - benefits
Cons
- salary - really nothing else to say

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Interbrand full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
(Still) known as one of the most well respected brand consultancies in the world. Some nice, smart people work here. Your peers are probably the only good thing about this place. If you just want to coast and need a paycheck, this place is for you.
Cons
A really well respected legacy and reputation in the hands of incompetent leadership. Breeding a culture of mediocrity and producing outdated services. Clueless csuite leadership that lack leadership skills, vision and a unique point of view to maintain the sterling reputation of Interbrand. IB is operating in their own world telling themselves what they want to hear and have little understanding of the realities of how the industry has moved forward. They tout 'iconic moves' and 'staying ahead of customer expectations' as the generic solution for everything, which is pretty cliche, but more importantly they have no clue how to deliver on it and how to evolve their services in a meaningful way for clients. Mix of talented smart people that don't stay long or newly recruited + long-time employees that coast. Low morale and deafening quiet in office. Colleagues appear uninspired, maybe even defeated. Largely white males in charge with women executing the work. The work is equally uninspired and outdated.
Pros
easy job + good location maybe
Cons
not challenging so it is kind of boring
