Anyone have any thoughts on Xaxis ( A GroupM company) or Kinesso (A IPG company)? Mostly curious about work-life balance and culture. Haven’t been on the agency side of the biz in a minute.

What role?

Xaxis is the programmatic trading desk, and programmatic ad ops

While Kinesso is the performance media activation arm of IPG, think of the teams that execute and manage paid search, paid social and programmatic campaigns. It also includes some data, analytics and product teams.

At the holding companies work life balance and culture varies vastly based on the account or accounts you will be working on and the role.

Also if the account is newly one and they are in the midst of transitioning the new client onboard, that will be a factor.

Newly one accounts are always chaos and craziness bc everything is new, new processes that have to be worked out, pressure to make a good first impression with the client, new teammates and new clients to work with, so lots of learning and lesson learned of personalities and there will always be unexpected things that will come up/surprises.

So I would base all your questions on that during the interview process.

2) What would the pay structure look like for a senior consultant?
3) Reference material to look into prepping for FDD?
4) Is there a line of preference over buy side vs sell side?
