In-house folks:

What is the WFH culture like within your organization?

Interviewing for an in-house CPG role and was told the company offers “two work from home days” a month. Huge turn off.

I have found that any company’s WFH policy is flexible once you’re in and you’ve proven yourself. In-house is a little more “face-time” centric than agencies but with a little time and effort, you can likely get the flexibility you need. If you don’t absolutely need to be able to WFH more often as of Day 1, and the job is a fit otherwise, go for it and build up your reputation as someone who gets their work done efficiently. You can then make a better case for flex options.

Thank you for this POV. Much appreciated.

That’s better than having an “open wfh policy” where you’re made to feel guilty when you WFH.

Interesting! I’d be transitioning from agency, and our current WFH is pretty chill. Not expecting to work from home everyday, but at least once a week.

My experience in-house was that there is less flexibility to work remote overall, but that the hours are far more certain. I’d work 9-530 on the dot with rare exception which was department wide, but maybe work from home 3x a month max.

As others have said, it’s also just about establishing yourself and gaining trust which I think comes in any new gig.

Official policy is that there isn’t one, but it’s very team and manager specific. Some are totally cool with 90% work from home, and others basically forbid it. It’s coming along, but it’s a slow process to change those deeply engrained views.

Yes, I agree completely. I have friends in-house at WeWork, P&G, LVMH, etc. those companies are very flexible. Seems rigid to me that companies are still unwelcoming to WFH and/or employees being remote in general. Workplace culture is evolving.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Hi fishes,

Had an interview with Hexaware and 3 days back HR1 called me and said she will send the offer letter next week. 2 days back HR2 called me and said a client interview is scheduled for you and I attended that. Now if I fail to clear the client interview round, will I not receive the offer letter that is promised by the HR1?

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
