I’ve worked on large institutional clients before but none to the level of dysfunction as Citi. I think Citi’s leadership and corporate structure is partly to blame but also Publicis leadership is partly to blame. Net net, steer clear of Citi if you can.

It’s pretty bad. The clients are the worst, although, I will say it’s getting better. A lot depends on what projects you’re on.

There are a lot of good people on the team at Publicis. Large FS accounts can be tough and “bad behavior” can be institutionalized. But overall the people I’ve worked with from there seem smart and relatively happy. Note: I’ve worked with teams there not ON teams there, so my perspective likely different than those that are/were inside.

Don’t do it!! Save yourself. I’ve had “VP” clients send PDFs to me, ask me to change the page ordering, and send it back. All 4 clients I worked with were not smart, and in my experience not very nice either.

Terrible

Re: the PDF, it wasn’t a power move. It was because they had no idea how to do it themselves and thought the task required a designer. 🙈
