What does everyone think of Razorfish Health?
I took the job as a GAS, because I had been laid off by IPG last summer thanks to losing Pfizer biz. I had great great interviews w/RFH, yet something was off with the person I’d be reporting to. And finally, the recruiter agreed to one number for compensation, but then it dropped way down when I was categorized as “remote” because of where I live in relation to the closest office, west village. I took it anyway, turns out for all the wrong reasons.

PRO TIP: Let them lay you off and collect the 1 week severance. Start looking for a new job immediately though because they’ll be laying you off shortly.

Ideally you want to time it so you collect your 1 week severance and roll right into your new freelance gig or full time role

It was RFH where I learned/accepted this.

I had a terrible interview with one of the ECDs last year, he was rude and disinterested throughout the entire interview so I haven’t had a high opinion of them since then.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having a bad experience, personally I’d leave and take the freelance gig because I can’t imagine you’d get more than a week or two severance if they lay you off.

I was never into it from day one. Three weeks ago, I was given a horrible 90 day catchup review. My “boss” was condensing and never went on camera, even after I did. Last week I was PIP’d and given 30 days to shape up. I partially agree with it, because of the brand I was put on, but the dismissive tone of the previous call and not being on camera was a red flag. I could go on and on. Should I stick around and collect t a paycheck untill I get axed (which I’m sure is the plan regardless of how I do) or do I leave now. I have freelance work lined up for the summer and beyond? Need advice.

Run for the hills, especially if you have FL work lined up. PIP is a no-win situation. And if they jammed you with one, give them a few days notice max and leave them in the lurch. That's a bridge worth detonating, from the sound of it.

I had a publicis ecd call me while he was in Starbucks. Thought I was art, not copy, then asked me why he was calling me. Also PIPs are their new way of weeding people out if they don’t personally like them. Welcome to the cool gang…
