DDB Remedy Reviews

Absolute. Chaos. Ridiculously hooked on so many processes and back to back meetings..with little thought of rationale... Impossible to breathe, think, and work effectively and creatively. Unsustainable stress and the worst internal collaboration I have Ever Seen. Unsupportive, although it claims to be. Micromanagement and myopic thinking. Great vision at the very top...the Strategic Team are excellent, clever and impressive thinkers. The creatives are a great bunch but departments don't collaborate. Political and un-meritocratic... don't expect to be able to perform to the best of yoyr abilities...you'll be too busy trying to take some control of your work, fight for transparency, keep your head from spinning and out of panic mode. There's a feeling of mania and mayhem and lack of staff stewardship. The long serving members are protected..it's cliquey...but unless you're compliant and mold-able you may have to fight. Striking lack of adherence to values they claim to uphold. A great great shame as there are many quality people. But lack of client management and poor vision means working there feels like you're trying to running-balance on a large ball that's hurtling downhill at speed, over bumps, whilst being chased by wild animals.

Controlling environment, no trust, writers treated like internal freelancers which means it's very transactional work. No praise when you do well. Senior Leadership Team instil fear in those below them, which trickles down (extra ironic as one of their 'values' is 'Freedom to Fail'). They've recently been told to track people's whereabouts if not in the office - transparency, trust and creative freedom should really be prioritised but this still isn't the case unfortunately. Had a pretty bad experience here and would never recommend to work here, especially for a writer.
