Worst company to work for in 2026: Omnicom Production.

Their recent merger with IPG signals exactly where things are headed: more outsourcing, less accountability, and the steady erosion of meaningful creative work. Clients see it too. They’re being charged premium rates for hollow, instant AI solutions—work that lacks heart, connection, and lasting value. Omnicom seems to have forgotten a fundamental truth: the best work is built on human relationships, not cost-cutting algorithms.

They don’t care about anything but the money. Every time I saw sergio smile and talk about the creative and the people you could tell he didn’t mean it. The original head of HR melanie kingdon promised so much in the beginning that never happened and she was gone a year after the initial poaching of production people. All of us Texas production employees are gone as of Jan 31st. Our accounts we worked on are livid because they had people that knew the accounts and now will left with random people who don’t know the brands or the vendors.

Ad industry watchdog Check My Ads did everything they could to prevent the merger last year, as they foresaw these problems on the horizon. That’s why they get $5 a month from me, but sadly here we are.
