I interned there last year and it wasn’t anything amazing. The two other interns that stayed on ending up leaving after 6 months due to the agency being so understaffed. Two of the ACDs there are great. The rest of upper management was meh, but a lot have left from my understanding.

I also said that the interns that continued working there left after 6 months due to understaffing.

I have heard really good things about them. I had a friend who worked there and she said the culture and wlb are great. She also said the benefits are good.

Hmm. Got a recent offer from a different Omnicom ad agency and I simply find it hard to believe that those benefits could be described as “good.”
