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.

Is there any hiring freeze going on at APISERO?
