Pros

Clinical trial recruitment is a niche space in healthcare and allows you to have much more fun with the creative work compared to traditional pharma. The NY team is small with a positive energy. Benefits are good: 19 days vacation, good healthcare/dental/vision, flex working and monthly office activities (weekly bagels, monthly ice cream). It's not overdone on the social to keep you at work when you would rather not be though. The work is project based so there are very busy periods, but everyone helps each other out. Heaps of opportunity to progress if you want, being a smaller group junior account team members get exposure to big client meetings, creative work, etc. The office is in midtown but moving to soho soon.

Cons

Relationship with the London based staff can be hard from an operational and personality perspective. As NY team is smaller, we have to tap into them for certain things.

They truly take the time to train you and get a sense of your passions. They want to grow your career with you and give you all the opportunity to do so.

Cons

The work is a bit niche and can be challenging to navigate within your first few months.

Pros

I’ve worked at Langland for over a year and truly love it! I’m not sure where these negative reviews are coming from but it seems like they’re for the UK office not the US one… I feel like before I write a review, I need to explain what Langland does, because it’s a lot different from other advertising and other health advertising. The New York office specializes in clinical trials, which is referred to as “clinical trial experience”. Aside from the more traditional advertising aspects of the job, we do things like create patient materials to help patients understand every aspect of a trial before they enroll. The work we do is so important and is so much of why I love working at Langland. It’s so meaningful in a way other health advertising and traditional advertising may not be. One of my favorite things about working at the New York office of Langland is that it’s a small team (~20 employees), so you get exposure to such amazing opportunities at a junior level. I’ve gotten to present in front of executive-level clients, lead client relationships, and do some really cool pitch work – seriously stuff I wouldn’t be allowed to touch if I worked at a large agency While Langland New York itself is small, Langland in the UK is larger, so you have the support of a skilled and experienced team behind everything you do, and there are some really experience creatives and employees in the UK Langland’s New York office is located in the Publicis Health New York office, which makes it feel like we work at a large agency even though our team is actually pretty small. Being a part of PH is great because there are a ton of cool BRGs and training sessions other cool events that PH puts on that we’re included in Honestly though, the best thing about Langland is the people. Everyone in the New York office is so nice and welcoming, and truly like a little family! About half of the New York office is British, which makes it a really unique place to work. Unlike a lot of my friends at other companies/ agencies, I love to come to work because I get to hang out with my friends/ coworkers everyday Langland also has a really good work/ life balance. We get a ton of vacation days (having a french parent company has its benefits!) The job is 9-5:30 but pretty flexible if you have a workout class in the morning and need to come a little late or need to catch a train to leave early or something, and everyone is chill if you need to work from home occasionally.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges of working at Langland is managing relationships/ communication with the UK office over phone/ email. The distance and time difference make it extra challenging, but I always have to remind myself it makes for really great work experience.
