Hi everyone!

I recently got an offer to join
GroupM MindShare , has anyone worked there or have knowledge on their work culture and work-life balance?

Any information regarding them would be helpful for me to make a decision

Work culture and WLB is highly dependent on your manager/team. Mindshare is great in that they have the $$$ to invest in research tools, but in my experience, was on the lower end in terms of payment. For reference, I’ve worked across WPP, IPG and OMG agencies.

Overall it’s a big no, the culture was toxic and pay was low

Is this the Bangalore location Mindshare?

I've heard the WLB there is virtually non-existent.

All of it

Mindshare is known for diverting from WPP main agencies culture. I have colleagues who moved from mindshare/GroupM to my current employer and they do say it lacks processes and culture across the board. The culture is almost independent in comparison to other WPP agencies, as they don’t adhere to WPP

WLB - highly dependent to your manager & team
Pay - comparing to other agencies Mindshare is on a low end
Culture - rather conservative

The location and manager matters… to a certain extend.

Since technology and playbooks flows from the US office, what it feels like in the US will spill over a little to Bangalor.

Source: I’ve been in mindshare for 8 years, with experience in Asia and US offices. It used to be good but no longer.

I have heard really good things about them. I had a friend who worked there and she said the culture and wlb are great. She also said the benefits are good.

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
