Interbrand reviews

Draconian policy and profit maximization at the Omnicom level leads to terrible outcomes for agency employees, both in day-to-day operations and career progression. Every promotion a battle, every raise too small. Building and retaining talent is not a priority, and it is having an increasing impact on the quality of the work for clients. Interbrand global management is hyper-focused pleasing Omnicom, does not have a strong acumen for innovation / managing a successful business, communicates very poorly, and is oblivious to the situation on the ground.

-Lots of change and many rounds of layoffs in the last year+ -Many big-egoed senior leaders who are difficult to work with and do not care about team's development -Projects can become very rinse and repeat; ultimately most clients have the same fundamental brand problems -Recent austerity measures due to IPG acquisition + internal politics = VERY slow to promote people -Once you reach a certain level, your growth maxes out unless you are buddies with the CEO and able to get into a global leadership position -Mandated 3 days/week in-office for ALL employees regardless of role, situation, or location
