100% up to 14%. One of the few upsides with where I’m at.

Alright. Beginning to think this does not exist

When I was at BBDO, it was 50% up to 6%.

Went tech in-house and the plan is wayyyyyy better. Fully vested immediately. 100% matching up to 50% of the IRS maximum. Plan allows for mega backdoor roth conversions too.

Match 50% up to 6%

Lol mine is 50% up to 4% and they announced like it was a big deal 😂

I believe IPG ( FCB ) is 50% up to 6% ( up to 10yrs of service ) over 10yr it goes to 75% Match.

No match. It's probably the only thing I don't like about working here.

No match. In NY that is

WPP was on the higher end among the big networks with full match up to 5% ... IPG is really slacking with the 3% match... what’s omnicom do?

Omni/BBDO matches 100% to 4% and 50% up to 6%.

PHD is 3% match on 6%, vested after 2 years.
QQ: is that 2 years thingy a norm?

I’ve always seen three so that’s good!

25% match on up to 12% of your salary (your own contributions). I think they figured out that many employees can’t contribute over, like, 7-8% without going over the maximum contributions allowed by the IRS. So it sounds really generous, but basically ends up being lower. Also, not fully vested until 5 years.

Sucks
