OLIVER Agency Reviews

• Workload is either manageable or constant overtime depending on your role, usually the latter • Happened to myself and few other colleagues: team members will report perceived issues to your managers before communicating them to you • Casual racism from local Chinese colleagues • Micro-managing and immature behaviour from creative director and project managers • Clients are toxic and the management will "speak to them" but nothing changes • Management conducts regular happiness surveys as part of their KPI and pays lip service to get issues resolved with no actual changes being made • Loudest voice wins in this organisation

Upper Management, from the MD to Operations to HR, are all out of touch with the various agencies under them. Sitting in a separate office from the various in-house teams under Oliver, the upper management in Singapore implements various policies without garnering actual feedback from the teams running the work. Efficiency nor employee well-being are goals here. People around you leave, but the company either doesn't replace them till it's too late or they off-shore the role(s) under some grand delusion that this is how in-house teams work. You are swamped with basically numerous pointless calls every week and left with little to no time to handle your own scope of work. The discontent among not just one, but multiple agencies under the Oliver network points to a serious problem, one which the leadership chooses to sweep under the rug.
