Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience during your time here. In recent years, we have made consistent progress when it comes to our creative work on some of India’s best-known brands. Our recent historic win as the only Indian agency to take home the APAC Agency of the Year title at Spikes Asia and other accolades are testament to our efforts. More importantly though, is the trust we see clients and our people placing in us to create work that is unexpected yet works for their business and careers. Your feedback on being a hierarchical organization is noted. Despite our best attempts, we don’t always get this right but are putting in concerted efforts to create a flat organization where transparency and a free flow of information are deeply embedded. Some of these initiatives include regular AMAs with our CEO & MD, Aditya Kanthy, where employees have a safe space to make themselves heard. We also conduct 360-degree feedback for leaders and managers and have a mechanism where people can choose a project of their choice based on their passions. We value your feedback and will use that to constantly improve ourselves. Wish you the best in your career.

Pros

Provided good machines. That's it.

Cons

Bad work culture and Incompetent management. Working for more than designated hours is almost an everyday thing. The management is exactly opposite to being employee-friendly. The management is also incompetent in getting new business which leads to lower salaries and appraisals

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience during your time here. We continuously look for ways to enhance employee satisfaction and when it comes to work-life balance, we have room to grow. This is an issue that's endemic to the industry, and we are taking clear, progressive steps towards correcting it. From experimenting with a 4-day workweek to weekend trackers and compensatory offs, a lunch hour block and use of project management tools; a mix of smaller and policy-wide changes are slowly but surely helping us do better on this front. Regarding the competence of our talent, the quality of our work created by a talented workforce is attracting some of the country’s largest start-ups, tech-first brands and traditional companies to work with us. This success has helped us rank No.1 in the R3 New Business League for three years in a row. We also conduct regular salary surveys and benchmarking exercises, to identify how roles stack up against the market. These third-party assessments have indicated that the Group offers some of the best benefits and compensation in the industry. We value your feedback and will use that to constantly improve ourselves. Wish you the best in your career.

Just another agency

Pros

You learn a lot, but through pain and suffering. You get great opportunities, but there are others also fighting for it. People are good, but don't have power to do good.

Cons

Clients believe agency is slave of theirs. Agency can't do anything about it.
