I have heard lots of negative things about Publicis Sapient in fishbowl. Can anyone help me with positives about Publicis Sapient? Why should one join Sapient and why should one not join?

Positives: solid pay, mostly wfh

Negatives: Hire and Fire ( i , along with 20 colleagues were laid off( forceful resignation)due to role saturation, no projects), layoff is not based on performance, worst hr and staffing partners, forcing employees to take another tech domain and not the one they r hired for, short term projects.

Overall pretty bad organisation

I also had a similar experience with HR and staffing .project r short-term projects. and will force u to take another domain if not accepted be ready to get fiereed

Positive is for sapient business only not for employees

like

Positive:
1. Decent Pay
2. Flexible Work Atmosphere - Work from Anywhere
3. Easy to reach people
4. Some very exciting strategic projects
5. Great WLB ( Depends Project to Project)
6. No Appraisals as such

Cons:
1. Lesser Projects compared to the big firms
2. Lack of personal touch due to remote working
3. Bureaucratic Promotion System
4. Some projects are very boring

In fishbowl I have heard that they are aggressive in firing freshers primarily in engineering discipline but that is common for a boutique consulting firm.

For hire and fire 🔥

like

Positives:
1. Decent Pay
2. Flat hierarchy and everyone is reachable
3. WFH
4. Lots of focus in learning
5. Opportunities to work on intiatives and also have some fun activities
6. Most projects are short term and transformative in nature and not support or maintenance related. Thus you learn a lot more.

Cons
1. The constant threat of firing if you are in bench and as the projects are short term every 1/2 years you will be in bench 3/4 weeks at least
2. Bureaucratic promotion process
3. To get visibility you need to go out of your way even if you are doing great work with client doesn’t matter much
4. Some projects especially for product craft is extremely boring

All are true

Yup pretty much summed up aptly by everyone

Publicis Sapient is a good company for the reasons below.

1. Good pay ( at par with market standards)

2. Flexi work ( almost permanent wfh without anyone bothering you about coming to office )

3. Great learning opportunities within projects and accounts. Mostly face paced and leveraging on new tech and market leader approaches

4. Great leadership team across accounts. I have worked with 3 and found at least 2 of them being real memorial experience with LT

5. Focus on client value and not on bureaucracy. Appreciations come from the impact and great work you do for clients

6. Open opportunities to pick initiatives and work on new stuff based on interests like POVs, RFPs etc.

I do not disagree on some of the points mentioned above, but just sharing something that i have noticed in the 1.5 yrs that I have been with Sapient.
