Great place to work
May 12, 2023 - Anonymous Employee in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Ogilvy has been a great place to work. They have poured a lot of time into employees who are new and take time to train. They are successful with training employees from the start and patient in the process. Ogilvy has many programs to get employees up and running and is a fantastic place to be if you're just starting out. Managers are not huge on micromanaging and communication is generally smooth.
Cons
Ogilvy's benefits are not on-par with the rest of the industry. They do not offer equal health plans, wellness options, and their bonus/raise structure is unclear.

Word of caution
Mar 7, 2023 - Anonymous Employee in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Nice people are found in every company.
Cons
Ogilvy has more than its fair share of a-holes and people who don't know how to run a business. Have a conversation with any employee about career pathing, compensation, rewards or life/work balance to get insight. If I were a client, I would be uncomfortable entrusting my brand here.
