Stay away from IPG rn - let things shake out at GM first.

Can’t really answer this but am wondering the same. Figure I’ll do NY/LA scene for a few more years then try to work at Doner or something. There’s just something special about having the Lions and Strohs around

Doner is toxic, I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy! They also pay like crap.

It’s kind of a weird time here.
McCann = Bad. Stay away.
MRM = Good. Hear lots of good things about the culture and work.
Commonwealth = TBD since they’re probably going up for review along with all other GM
Leo = Idk they’re pretty quiet but haven’t heard much good
Doner = Seems to have the most potential right now, imo.
The smaller shops around town seem to be doing pretty well. Work isn’t as glamorous but the work/life balance is.

MRM is NOT good right now. Layoffs and RFP with GM are not the vibe rn.

lol. This photo captures the Detroit essence pretty well. Lazy people.

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android).

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
