Does anyone have some insight about Grey? More specifically the Strategy department. Spoke with a recruiter and she was trying very hard to sell their CSO and how amazing he is. Also she used the line “they are like a big family” which is a major red flag.

I have the second round of interviews but curious what is really like.

A recruiter told me “the CCO at Grey knows the names of all the creatives” as a key selling point. I’d be worried if she didn’t TBH.

A LOT of new faces over the past 6 or so months. “Big family” with clear favorites.

CSO is AMAZING- he was a great mentor and basically played a dad role. He is absolutely brilliant and hilarious behind closed doors. A true feminist and ally. I’ve moved on to another agency but will always cherish my time working with him. I learned so much. That being said, Strat team can get cliquey but as long as you’re kind, you’ll be fine.

I’ve heard nothing but bad news bears from friends in creative and PM that went over there, all but 1 left within a year.

Guy asked for competitive intel on a pitch my agency was competing against Grey for and that was a major slimeball alert for me. What, so to get the job I have to sell out my current agency? As miserable as I was then, no thank you.

😱😱😱 major slimeball for sure!

Not one big family. More like you’re either in the cool clique or not

I’m new-ish to the Strategy team. I like it but still getting the lay of the land. The CSO is fine but I’ve had less exposure to him than other agencies I’ve worked at tbh.

That’s certainly true to a degree but I had more frequent collaboration with my CSO’s in prior roles (at least so far). Regardless, the broader team is made up of really bright and kind humans.

Who is the CSO?

Let me Google that for you…
