Pros
(This review is for Leo Burnett Orchard Bangalore. It's Orchard advertising only, but taken over by Leo Burnett and hasn't updated its glassdoor.) At least my experience has been really bad. I mean thanks to this place, I've realised what I do not want to do, and I'm grateful this place taught me that, but that is the only upside I can see from having worked here.
Cons
Working here, you won't be working for a company, you'll be working for an institution. And if you haven't felt insignificant before, joining an institution is definitely gonna help with that. It feels like a sad corporate gig where you're helping someone else's dreams come to life, but you don't know who exactly, because the hierarchies go all the way up. The work life balance doesn't exist, you'll work on weekends, late nights and while you're doing that there's also a lot of internal politics. People are weird, they work like machines. And the new creative head who's recently joined sounds like a broken record saying "let's do something mad" on repeat, with zero plan of how to get there and does his job very well, if his job entailed rejecting ideas with feedback of "hmm". The company clearly only cares for the clients, while overworking their employees. (My colleague got thrashed for standing up for the team and saying no to the client, when the client came with work on the weekend.) The company culture from what I've experienced is horrible. But then again you could have a completely different experience from what I've had. To each their own.
