@SS1: The Other Guys

Heard it has a toxic culture. Even if you’re a woman. Especially if you’re a woman.

We feel that opening a question posed to a group of anonymous strangers with "How do we feel..." assumes a false companionship, most likely born out of a need for approval and belonging missing elsewhere in one's life.

As for Joan, I don't really know too much about it.

That means nothing. Also, GSP won campaign agency of the year. This is an independent subset.

I’ve heard it’s really toxic and baaaaaaaaaaaad internally... but I guess they’re PR masters. That’s something tho.

I loved their black forest gummies spot from a few years back, but Dave hasn't been the ecd in awhile. Looking forward to seeing what Laura does there though

I heard about the toxic culture and then one day the head of strategy/strategy director reached out and then completely ghosted me for no reason, which just reaffirmed to me that I don’t want to work there.
