Honest thoughts on Publicis ?

From a media perspective they have been winning so many account lately. Are they just that good when it comes to data and AI?

How is it to be an employee there? All the stories I hear are never positive.

No. They simply are undercutting everyone else on price. Offering first year free—or creative services for free if brand gives media remit. Does nothing for viability of workforce.

We all get screwed by clients demanding cheaper and cheaper work. It benefits none of us.

Hi there, as a employee, everything depends on the agency and account that you are working on. And the vertical, with the associated requirements.

I will note that I absolutely love the team and account I currently work on. Also, been working within the company for almost five years and have had massive opportunities for continued advancement, and growth.

Any time I’ve started feeling like I hit a peak, those above me have worked on my behalf to move into a new advanced role that challenges me and gives me what I need to advance my career.

We also have very low team turnover, which I would think is a good indicator of employee morale. Very low as in I’m working with the same people years later on the account as I did when it started.

Hmmmm that was not my experience. My team was a big mess at the start. PM were totally clueless, had to guide some of them in the general ream process of kicking off a job, creative brief, estimates, timemes lines.

I agree, working at Publicis should come with a * warning. How could they win all this new business and still cutting back staff?

Some Wall Street perspective:
Publicis and Accenture have seen serious stock growth over the last 24 months, with Publicis soaring to record highs in 2024 and Accenture hitting an all-time peak in early 2025. Omnicom’s share price has been relatively stable. WPP’s stock price? Volatile.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

Hi all.

However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks
