What’s Grey’s reputation these days? If you were interviewing someone who worked there, would you view that experience favorably?

Unless you are c-suite, the situation of your agency isn't under your control. Grey does seem to be spiraling a bit, but I wouldn't hold that against anyone who works there. Everyone has gotten stuck in a bad situation or took a job and realized it's not what you thought it would be. If you're feeling uneasy, start talking to people and making new connections.

Grey is now on par with JWT, Y&R, and Ogilvy, since the true creative forces that drove grey to the top have all left. However Grey has not yet fallen to the reputation it had prior to Tor.

I too, want to know more!

I worked at grey years ago and hated it and i recently worked with someone who worked at grey within the last year and that person hated it

☝️I believe the purpose of this thread is to assess if the brand of grey has either a positive or negative effect on the reputation of those that currently work there and might be looking elsewhere. I believe that a LOT of people got great work out of greyNY and can use it to move on, if they haven’t already. If you are looking to go, hopefully you were there when good work was around. If not, I don’t think the grey name is a negative at all. If this was 13 years ago, yeah. You’d be doomed

Grey’s reputation has taken a nosedive in recent years, but that wouldn’t influence how I view a candidate. If you landed an interview that means they saw something they liked already, so I wouldn’t sweat it.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant.

Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.
