Interviewing at a few places. WongDoody vs Accenture Song. Looking for opinions - which is better for factors like:

- work life balance
- reputation (looks better on my CV)
- growth potential
- innovation (creative, tech, AI)

WongDoody…now there’s a name I haven’t seen or heard in like 8 years

like

That would explain it, didn’t realize they were acquired. Infosys doesn’t have the greatest reputation for a variety of reasons, but I can’t speak from firsthand knowledge. Song would be the move I would make and checks your boxes.

What type of strategy are you focused on?

like

No firsthand experience myself, but have heard from people with firsthand experience that Accenture Song is intense — peak A-type environment.

like

Wong Doody LA or Seattle? I’m frankly surprised they are still in business. Haven’t heard of anything they’ve done in years.

like

In UK. Aren’t they more on the side of digital innovation, experience design and creative tech now?

I get the impression their origins were more traditional advertising, so maybe that’s why the work is not as high profile anymore?

I should add as context that I’m motivated to more more into that area. Accenture has it too.

Accenture. Infosys doesn't understand what they bought.

it's easier to say you lead with innovation than it is to do it. drill into the current projects. WD has changed executive focus every year in the past three years. choose the best pay package.

What level would you be going into at Song and what role/group?

If you are in a delivery role and have deep relationships with sales leaders / account leads who know they have work for you, then you will be ok. If not, you essentially will have to go find work without a network which will be difficult. Unlike most agency roles, you will have a chargeability target and maybe a sales target (or expectation to sell). It can be done but won’t be easy especially in this climate. It is a very competitive environment. Good luck!

Wongdoody is still around?!?

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.
