Leo has been hiring a stellar team, no?

Hiring...sure. Does it matter? No. Publicis Groupe won't let Leo be great.

Highdive is exciting to work at. The work and people are A+. But you will work 80+ hours a week.

Leo was being stripped to the bone while I was there. I can only imagine how bad it is now.

Massive client loses and no dedicated new business team! Shrinking the creative team down to 1 and a half floors.

When I started Leo was the largest agency in Chicago. After all the cuts, I think FCB is now.

Highdive feels like the old days. Growing a real business and doing work that gets noticed. A lot of my favorite people are there.

Recent layoffs were pretty minor, so it's not too far off from that.

I love working at FCB. I love the work and I love the people. I look forward to coming in every single day (Tuesday-Thursday).

Disagree.

Love the people that work at Ogilvy Chicago. Truly enjoy being in the office and the work we do. But people leave because getting a raise is near impossible. That part sucks.

I have to support my family financially. Usually my mom cooks for the family so groceries only cost $1200/month. However, my mom is abroad for 2 months so it’s just my siblings and they can’t cook so they’ve been using my card for doordash. I think there are days when they spend $100+/day. It’s frustrating because my mom already told them the daily budget repeatedly. I’ll go bankrupt at that rate. However, it’s not like I can take my card back since I don’t want them to starve…

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google
