Not true about no one giving raises. They are just rare. You really have to play into the office politics game and threaten to leave every now and then. With that said, the BMW group lost the social account if that's what you're referring to. Overall it's a great place for a stepping stone mainly. It is not a creative/design valued shop like rga. It's more production and accounts driven, so its really a great place for those that are ok with giving creative control to non creatives.

Oh I really appreciate that knowledge! What are the hours like? I'd like go back to school eventually and knowing if I have the time to is actually a plus.

You should be fine. the office is usually empty by 6 pm. They also offer professional development support to help you pay for some of your tuition.

What type of work are you looking to make? Great people in creative, some questionables and nepotism in production dept. Parties are ok at best. Raises and promotions are scarce.

I'm looking to work toward a digital future, plain and simple. I actually like social work so it sounds like a dream come true for me. I'm in this for the work, not the parties, and no one is giving raises so I'm good with that.

Been getting some interesting ads in Georgia. Got a letter about how Jon Ossoff is going to destroy Georgia’s economy and attacking him and his character. This was generated by David Perdue.

Ossoffs response? Bring up all the ridiculousness Perdue has done and how he’s left Georgia in a worse position. Didn’t say Ossoffs name once, just said get rid of Perdue.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

I had very positive feedback on my interviews for a S&O role but the team hired someone internally. If I interview again for a differenr role, would I have to do all the interviews again or can I use some of the scores from previous interviews. I understand doing RRK again makes sense but what about GCA, googlyness or leadership . Thank you

The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
