What’s the scoop on FCB NY right now? They’ve reached out to me, but I’m hesitant to even talk because of the Omnicom/IPG merger.

Really lowballed me

I figured… it’s IPG after all (I’ve worked for various IPG agencies in the past)

We won a couple big accounts so we’re growing. We’re in that stage where people are switching guards. New faces in the agency while others who’ve been there for a bit are finding other opportunities. I think it’s a good place to come work. The strategy is important here and (for me at least) I get to work closely to the creatives.

HR is not on your side lol basically internal PR people

Trust me, you deserve better than what FCB NY has to offer right now. Awards aren’t everything—and many of the people on those big, shiny accounts are burned out, underpaid, and deeply unhappy. The agency is great at selling a dream, but the reality often doesn't live up to it.

The culture has drastically shifted in the last couple of years. What once felt like a creative, inspiring space now feels more like a cult. I genuinely encourage you to connect with folks who’ve recently left—many of them will tell you the same. The environment has become toxic, and there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes drama, including inappropriate workplace behavior that happens across all levels.

It might look glamorous from the outside, but once you're in, the cracks start to show. You deserve a place where your talent is nurtured, respected, and fairly compensated. Keep looking—you’ll find somewhere that aligns with your worth.

Why are you hesitant because of a merger? Genuinely asking

not that dramatic but yes, organizationally lots of changes & redundancies

Nothing great happening there. What exactly are you trying to find out?

Not the most desirable place imho but credit where it’s due: they’ve been consistently at or near the top in most creative rankings the past few years.

you could look at today’s stock price for IPG, (compare to Publicis Groupe just to have a reference), & there’s your answer.

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.
