We work closely with them on all of our projects (a super fun client mandate) and I’d be careful going there as a creative. It seems to be mainly a production shop, so they aren’t doing very much (or, any?) concepting there, and most decisions are up to the agency’s creative team, not Media Monk’s. Also, most of their staff are freelancers, so there isn’t much of a company culture.

I immediately think of those entrants at a country fair who pump their livestock full of water just prior to weigh-in in order to make it seem like they’re heavier and more impressive than they really are just before they grab their ribbon and then sell their “prize-winning” animal for slaughter.

I am a CD at MM and all I do is concept! I’ve worked at a ton of agencies and I’ve never been given as much room to play and grow and imagine. It’s honestly been a dream job. I am in awe of the talent I get to imagine things with.

You must be in a great office. The total opposite is true at my outpost. Zero concept, zero processes, totally toxic environment. Also zero briefs. I have seen one brief the entire year I’ve been here - from a project with another office. I have never gotten a single brief with objective, insights, anything: Would be happy to move to your side of the company.

Good but very Political

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!
