- 1.0Sep 8, 2023Associate, Digital ActivationFormer Employee, less than 1 yearNew York, NY
Pros
I went to Nobu once for free
Cons
As an associate, they pay you absolutely NOTHING and discourage you from working overtime YET give you an obscene amount of work with constant changes and "fire drills". There was 0 training but an expectation I could manage million-dollar budgets as a recent college grad. Toxic gossip and office politics! No clear work-life balance and blurred boundaries. I never had time for a lunch break and lost 10 pounds from that and stress. Threats of firing us constantly from higher up because our team had so many issues because it was understaffed and disorganized! I worked on the Pepsi account and it was highly demanding. There were clearly not enough people or processes in place to handle the needs of all the brands under my team's umbrella. The most normal and hardworking associates all left after a year, I left 6 months in.

Hi all! I’m interviewing for an Associate Director MarSci role at OMD NYC. I checked glassdoor and the salary sheet but would appreciate w few more data points as there isn’t much to go on. Appreciate your help!
Which account? Is it a large brand/client?
OMD extended offer this morning. Tried negotiating, but recruiter informed me that the role’s salary was non-negotiable. Is this standard agency procedure? Anything else that can be negotiated?
It happens. Sometimes budgets are budgets. Sign-on bonus sometimes but lots of talent available right now. Don’t push too hard or you risk them rescinding the offer.

I’ve worked at GroupM and OMG agencies and the insurance is pretty much the same. I haven’t had any change in my doctors, my coverage, etc. Both use OptumRx for prescriptions.
