What are your thoughts on Ogilvy Chicago? Is it worth going from in-house to agency again?

Agree with the first comment. Be very wary of an agency that is already laying off so many people.

There’s literally another post going around about the culture, and it paints a bleak picture. This goes beyond just Chicago. When people are protecting themselves by throwing others under the bus, it is not just poor leadership. It is a culture in decay. Anyone thinking of jumping in should tread carefully. This is not just a rough patch. It is a pattern.

Not there, no. It's a sinking ship. In-house is way more stable these days.

Unfortunately, I’m at an in-house company and things aren’t looking super great for the brand I work on. I’d actually get paid more at Ogilvy.

Don’t say we did not warn you about Ogilvy

Hi Fishes,

Is there a minimum tenure that one has to serve in ZS to ask for office transfers? (within India)

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!
