Publicis all the way… the are the only ship that is not drowning

like

Publicis is the only holding company I’ve ever worked for (and I’ve worked for all of them) where I actually feel like I have job security, I get regular raises and promotions, and I enjoy the people I’m working with. They’re also the only one actually winning any business these days (the two points are def correlated). It has downsides like any agency, but compared to other hold cos, there’s no question who’s on top right now and treating their employees the best.

All that being said, agencies as a whole are kind of a dumpster fire, including Publicis, so, you know, there’s that.

Hate to break it to you, but you most certainly do not have job security…

Publicis, but I’m not happy about it

I’m giggling

Never Havas worst agency experience by a mile. A hole manager and they laid people off right before the holidays like it was clockwork. Happy holidays!

I didn’t say it was. It’s the worst place I’ve been at.

Publicis 100% I work for them now and had a mostly great experience (excluding normal annoyances you get anywhere - groupe has a great culture). Worked with or for most all the hold cos of varying sizes over 22 year career freelance and full time except probably WPP

Yep. Have worked for 3 holding companies - Omnicom, IPG, and Publicis. Publicis is by far the best in terms of benefits. I DO hope that Arthur doesn't try to ram RTO and make his employees miserable like the other holding companies are doing though.

Go to Pub. Havas just changed their PTO. It’s an insult.

Depends on the agency.

Your account and functional team are MUCH more important than the holdco. Unfortunately you won’t get a very good idea of this from the interview process.

Publicis - I miss it

I really, really miss Publicis.

Either. Although Publicis does a lot of arbitrary, unnecessary layoffs so people never really feel safe here. Havas seems a bit more stable.

The positives are, I’m actually getting interviews- about 5 so far, I get to the later/last rounds but can’t seem to close the deal. I’ve tried learning from each experience, and taking that as growth for the next interview but it hasn’t worked.

Transactional junior associate in biglaw. Working for a dedicated practice group rather than in an associate pool. For the past few months, I’ve been loaned to another practice group for a good chunk of time. While the people are decent and the hours aren’t terrible, I detest the work and don’t see a future in this new practice. My main partner says it should end in the next month, but I don’t expect that to happen. Is it a terrible idea to ask to be taken off?
