In the running for a project role at Publicis Sapient under their Samsung business. I’ve heard some less than stellar things from acquaintances - anyone else have some thoughts?

Not a good experience. Feels like a sweat shop and is difficult to do actual strategy/consulting. Many are contractors and often taken advantage of

Publicis Sapient is huge. You’ve got legacy Razorfish offices around the country still doing cool things and other offices around the country doing interesting pro bono work. There’s opportunity within the network.

That said, I’ve heard some not so great things about working on Samsung. But if you need a job, there’s way worse places you could be.

OK, so what makes so Samsung so bad as a client? I am currently interviewing for a strategy role there.

Upside: If you're on Team Samsung, it's pretty stable.

Downside: losing your soul

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
