Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness Reviews

Pros

Interesting company doing interesting work. They work hard at corporate culture, and have instituted an activity-based workplace program in which people sit wherever they need to sit to accomplish the day's work. Some people didn't like this-- I thought it was excellent, promoted cross-fertilization of ideas, etc. More than at other companies I have worked at, they put art and copy together at kickoff, and expect the work to come out of that collaboration. This takes jobs into new creative directions with interesting results. They treat people like adults who have agency to make their own decisions. And they have fresh fruit on every floor.

Cons

Activity-based workplace works well for some, less so for others. It tends to skew to a younger demographic. There is a need to diversify their client base.

Pros

Location Fresh fruit OK offices Corporate catering

Cons

Common denominator creative Some departments feel like a frat house Soul sucking mission

Pros

Central location; a few smart folks

Cons

Where to start. HR is brutal and two-faced. They're not there for the employees to be sure. Leadership makes empty promises, avoids difficult conversations and takes no responsibility for anything. Anyone smart has left. What remains are a bunch of outdated, lazy and uninspired hacks. HR - try being more human.

Pros

* Culture - the nicest people I've ever worked with, no divas here (maybe one or two but that's it)! All hands on deck mentality, teams are very collaborative, no job too small or too big for anyone. * Work/Life balance - very respectable. For the industry, you can't really do better. Dedicated wellness room – houses in-house acupuncturist, reflexologist, and chiropractor. * Professional/personal development - great training/workshop opportunities provided by the Publicis network (Mission 650 has been amazing)! Review cycles every 6 months, ample opportunity to receive recognition and promotions * Benefits - lots of great benefits and company perks, 401k starts on day one, plenty of days off.

Cons

* Experience varies pending on department/team. There are few teams here that are less desirable * Would like more flexibility to work remotely and flexible schedules but I think they're working on that
