Bowl Leader
Bain & Company I’m from Italy and will start my master’s degree at Oxbridge this fall. I got my undergrad from a target uni in continental Europe. I want to start my career in consulting, possibly MBB, in London. I know consulting firms tend to hire locally but I’d really like to work in London and that’s also one of the main reasons why I went for the Oxbridge degree. Anyone, who might have some tips, or went through a similar experience? McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

Straight from the horse's mouth!
Personally I’m very excited about all the HR optimization and shareholder value it’ll generate.

Yeah, I meant to say besides that but I thought it would be understood 😉
We all lose in this deal
I think fcb and ogilvy are done.
Good news is a lot of talented ppl are going to open up Indy agencies like Greg Hahn did when he was laid off.
So a world with 5 times more independent agencies is a good thing
Ogilvy is unrelated to IPG. And I just read in the press that FCB is being retired.
Mandatory RTO. I’m immunocompromised and don’t relish risking my health for John Wren’s totalitarian fantasies.
Employees with health issues are, in my experience, exempt from RTO. Speak to your HRBP, they'll be able to advise next steps.
Depressed salaries and freelance rates now that the merged org has an effective monopoly on hiring.
No more remote for people who live far from NYC and have spent years building careers in this industry.
A beggar in the house of plenty? Nice
We can expect more expensive, crappier benefits…no matching funds. United Health becomes Aetna, we go from great MetLife dental to pariah Anthem (that practically no one accepts in NYC)…and I’m sure this will soon be the least of my worries.
FWIW, I've used both UnitedHealth and Aetna and genuinely think Aetna is better. Yes to your other points.
It is all a race to the bottom. Has been for at least two years.
Owned.
Sadly I cannot envisage anything positive resulting from this acquisition. There will be agency mergers/layoffs within agencies. OMC started centralising finance and HR a few years ago, so expect layoffs in these areas too. OMC also has ridiculous processes in place that makes everything take forever.
I am rooting for the people who are starting agencies. If I was a client I'd be wanting that level of service from an independent agency, not some faceless corporation.
do I go back to commuting 3 hours out of every day while losing like 7grand in salary blown on NJT.
Knowing it’s going to be a reality, and (so far) I still have a job, I’ve moved on to acceptance.
10 PTO days only
Exactly, FCB2! I’m fed up with this gaggle of whiny, simpering losers. They’re so cynical, if Jesus were alive today they’d complain his sandals were made of cheap leather. Let them save their childish provocations for the moment we are finally confronted with the facts.
work at an IPG agency now and worked for Omnicom agencies in the past. My fears purely from a PM perspective are that they will force us to move from Workfront- which does have its own issues but is generally pretty solid- to the cheap and jankity HIVE. I also remember Omnicom working people to the bone, watching them leave for better, and then hiring a new batch of recent college grads...so worried about that
Omnicom does use Workfront. They'll probably also move everyone to their other preferred platforms. Microsoft everything. Outlook for email, D365 for finance and expense reports, Sharepoint, etc. They stopped allowing the Google suite of tools. I'd also expect lots of hires offshore.
Good luck to all, I missed all this anxiety as I got laid off 2024 from McCann.
I fear remote work vanishing and having to drive 4 hours a day.
Not on this app. It can be helpful at times but it’s all doom gloom and fear mongering
If it happens, I’m just waiting for the Omnicom stock too spike. Then sell and get out.
