Other agencies have no clue about Droga5's culture.

Outside perception is that it's filled with talented people who are regularly used and abused. Haven't heard good things about working there, despite the fact they seem to put out some of the best stuff.

I meant what do other agencies think of the agency in general. Finding it very political

I didn't find d5 more political than other NYC agencies. The stakes are a little higher bc it feels like everyone in the industry is watching you. I worked harder than I ever have in my life, but I liked it - it felt like everyone was in it to win it and there was great camaraderie. It was A LOT smaller when I was there though.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
