WPP SUCKS

Yeah, it really sucks.

Sorry, Omnicom is pretty bad, too.

I mean it's like calling out Burger King for trash food when they could disappear tomorrow and just be replaced with McDonald's, or Wendy's, or taco bell.

I don't even blame them, I blame us for letting it exist.

In my experience at WPP, Interpublic and Omnicom, they all basically seem the same and have almost no impact on my job. How does one tell if they are working for a bad holding company?

Have you ever been told you were getting a raise while working at Publicis Groupe agency? It’s a complete disorganized nightmare.

Hahahahahaha yes

Too many cooks (in the c suite)

Can you tell me (Omnicom) why it’s so bad?

So you’re saying this conversation is just a giant circle jerk?

By the way, which is a good holding company to work under? Just so I know where to head?

Havas has been good to employees.

I've worked under Publicis, WPP and Interpublic. WPP was the worst in my experience.

I’ve been trying to get into the top tier Associate Product Marketing Manager position Google for some time now for just an interview and I feel like business majors somehow have such a stronger chance in getting interviewed especially my business school and I feel really discouraged as an Econ Major and I have a lot of marketing experience that I’ve built over the years. Are there any non-business majors in the tech realm in non technical positions at Google that can advise me?

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)
