Pros
People are great to work with
Cons
Lack of innovation at the local level
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
I met some really great people here! There is an undercurrent of really great talent that comes through.
Cons
- Senior leadership is non existent for employees below the VP level. You don't see them, you don't hear from them and they don't know you exist. - the brand name of Ogilvy is great but they spent zero time on development - Not a great place for women, the men are very toxic.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
You get exposure to super cool brands, pitches, and 'sexy' work; lots of big ideas and sometimes even an ample budget to make it happen; the name is flashy and holds weight in the industry
Cons
It lacks diversity; the practice itself is very disorganized; there is a very weird 'i work more late nights than you work' competitive culture; little visibility from execs as I never know what is going on at work until a Campaign or AdAge article breaks the news; little room for work/life balance as a junior employee
