Depends. Are you seeking a toxic environment devoid of leadership and culture? Are you motivated to do your best work under constant fear of being laid off so that the company can hire yet another ECD?

If so then Ogilvy NY may be the place for you

There’s rotating leadership, which causes stress as senior people always have new bosses. They want to bring in their own people and do slow trickle layoffs which also stresses everyone out. There is also such a focus on awards and proactive briefs it’s difficult to get billable work done as resources are taken away. I’m sure some teams are better than others, but a lot are seeing the writing on the wall and want to get out.

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.
