Thoughts on Havas San Francisco?

Have a friend who was offered a position with their healthcare team, and has uneasy feelings about accepting the role.

They said the interviews went well, but something seemed/felt off.

Avoid anything even remotely related to Havas, France calls the shots with everything and they lost a lot of people last fall when they forced people to RTO. They just resumed a mandated in-office RTO this past week and a few friends said it’s already not going too well.

I’d tell your friend to look at the Havas bowl on here and read glassdoor reviews. The entire place (health, creative, media) is a dumpster fire.

Worked out of a different Havas office on the East Coast and heard that the SF office was a bit chaotic. Don’t know much more than that unfortunately

The havas bowl has a lot of...less than stellar....reviews. I've only heard about what a mess it is, nothing positive :/

Always trust your instincts about a job. If your friend is getting that sinking feeling, then pass. People are still hiring like mad out there, be patient and find the right fit, it will be worth it.

Run in the other direction my friend (to your friend).

They have a 1-star rating on Glassdoor

My experience was a pretty chaotic work environment. And, very little creative opportunity. The term toxic positivity also comes to mind, as far as leadership. Not the SF office, but can attest to some other US offices.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
