When negotiating Salary, do you mention Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, or a separate source? Or neither?? Looking at a role I’m currently a candidate for and the discrepancy of pay between Glassdoor and Levels.fyi is absurd (IE Glassdoor average salary is almost 40K higher than Levels.fyi) Glassdoor also has more “data points”, for lack of a better term, than Levels.fyi for this role.
Thoughts??

Crispin still exists??
Honestly not sure did a 2 week contract there 5 years ago lol
Crispout
That’s interesting, they are part of Stagwell, and they have Assembly Global as their big media agency as part of their hold co.
But my gut tells me that they want to do media planning themselves bc they can be more agile, aka one team as well as keep the revenue for themselves and generate more revenue than from purely creative scopes.
Maybe they want to be more like W&K?? And other creative shops that do media.
It does “diversify” potential revenue.
All the real, remaining Crispin people were absorbed by Gale. Crispin MMI Observatory and Vitro all merged. MMI CEO somehow got the agency uncoupled from Gale and took over, then she systematically fired everybody who wasn’t MMI.
MMI was a media shop in Houston that did creative to only service media. Really bad creative.
All the MMI leadership and account people have been elevated, so it’s a crappy regional media house from Houston wearing Crispin’s skin as a sales technique.
Basically that scene from Princess Mononoke where the hunters wear the pig skins, but instead of anime it’s Disney Adults.

Tried to tell y’all.
Not surprised at all - this entire year Crispin has been in the red and negative in terms of revenue and projected revenue. Every all-hands is about how they are down (sometimes by double digitals) from their forecasts. There's been no major or significant new business won in quite awhile. They always brag about these big flashy pitches and then nothing is ever heard or spoken about it after several months.
Certainly any good talent is driven away - their leadership team is all talk - always going on about how important people are - and then silencing anyone who tries to improve or change things positively. It's just a bunch of people who are in control and have no desire or intention of giving up their power. All junior and less experienced employees are often criticized to their face - and many of the "managers" have no idea how to manage and are sexists, racist, bigoted, or homophobic.
There's a total lack of substance within the organization, and the handful of folks who are talented are surrounded by incompetence.
Layoffs at everywhere!
What’s the vibe there now?
