The worst

For a place that mainly does oil and gas clients, they sure treat recruiting more like they’re running the super secret exclusive guest list velvet rope at a private Diddy fashion week ambergris speakeasy on putins yacht hosted by the Rothschilds and Salvador Mundi

I wrote this on another post recently. Run far away from BBDO, much different agency than it was a few years ago!

BBDO NY is dead. 0 creativity, crazy hours awful benefits, no employee investment (no mentorship, no ERGs, no town halls). The best they' give you is a pizza party or a "summer party" aka a trip from your desk to the office bar 🤩

Another thing to add, I see you're a creative. Bbdo send all their creative to be done by Omnicom's other agencies like studios. Never saw any work created by internal employees working on 3 different accounts. Internal employees would just come up with the concept then send to the agencies to create it

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
