Anyone (or know anyone) with experience at GMMB in the creative department (as opposed to PR, etc.)? I’m interviewing there and have read some troubling reviews on Glassdoor, especially around workload and burnout for non-senior staff. Given its size, I want to investigate whether that is company-wide or in certain departments.

For context, I’d be mid-level working with the west coast teams, so focus would be on causes and initiatives rather than politics.

Thanks in advance.

I know you asked for creatives but I worked there a couple of years ago. They have better work life balance than most traditional advertising shops. Creative department is small and is not the majority of work they do (more PR/media heavy). Creative team is nice but it’s not necessarily super sexy as work because of the client types.

Thank you so much! Yeah, after speaking with the team, it sounds like those Glassdoor comments were probably on the politics/PR side. Everyone seemed really nice.

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
