Hill+Knowlton Strategies Reviews

Pros

Great to learn skills of pr trade

Cons

Hi stress, but that is expected. Must meet your P&L.

Pros

-large org chart, top heavy and usual PR work makes it easier to cruise. -friendly and hardworking colleagues but honestly there isn't very much progressive work because the leaders are afraid to take on challenging briefs

Cons

-long hours, traditional leadership, no innovation, graveyard office -not a place for young professionals who want a more dynamic environment or do innovative work. -uninspiring management and office built by interns labour. -management keeps showing good financial results in Asia but unwilling to invest in the people. - no bonus - tend to promote those who don't challenge the management - boring typical pr work - clique

Pros

As an enabling employee, there's really a lot of room to grow and opportunities to work on. I joined H+K even after seeing all the negative reviews and I must say, the culture has really changed. It is no longer as negative as what others say, senior management has changed and they are empathetic towards their people. Focused more on fostering greater collaborations and not instilling a silo mentality. The current H+K Singapore employees are purely amazing and great to work with. Recognitions are being thrown around the office and even our interns or junior level employees are given a voice to speak up. Work culture has significantly improved since 2020 and we're getting better day by day.

Cons

I would love to say there's nothing negative but that would make this review sound rather fake. Probably the remuneration is quite average? But then again, let's not compare the agency x communications industry with in-house roles.

Pros

Amazing team culture, exciting transformation.

Cons

Office space is somewhat clinical.

Pros

Great regional leadership that brought the company to a new level.

Cons

Finance says it all and leaving very little space for all other departments to have the flexibility to be productive.

Pros

- Eye opener - Great team

Cons

- No work life balance - workload

Pros

Trust in the people here is amazing and a great environment to grow

Cons

Nothing much to say here really

Pros

Global brand name, blue chip accounts

Cons

Long hours, average salary, non collaborative culture, generally a lot of negativity

Pros

Colleagues were a bunch of friendly and supportive individuals. Global seems to be willing to pump money into this anti-revenue generating “global hub”

Cons

Too many to even begin writing.

Pros

Nice office building near the orchard shopping belt, also very centrally located and near Newton MRT which makes it easy for one to escape the toxic environment when necessary.

Cons

Where do i begin. Some will say the MD has vision, but she has created a toxic culture where that vision will never happen. She has empowered only a select few to disrespect, bully and belittle. These gangs, thriving on self-perceived importance, set the tone for everything and everyone else. And their behaviour, which includes everything from morally inappropriate comments about clients, direct and indirect ridicule of fellow colleagues, seeking out people who are vulnerable, submissive and non-confrontational to bully is almost criminal. Apart from these gangs who worship at the altar of the MD, there are no other leaders. Needless to say, the MD excessively controls most, if not all of the accounts, so there are plenty of "bad ideas" at this office. Any spark of creativity will be extinguished faster than one can say "fire", if you do not belong with the right crowd who clearly think teamwork means an internal "them", rather than "the wider us". Blame at the end of a failed win, is also easily handed around like hor'derves at a cocktail party. Enjoy your stay, if you want a part in a horror show, but as someone famous once said, "culture eats strategy for breakfast".
