Freud Communications Reviews

It seems like a really cool place to work from the exterior, but it's definitely a different story on the inside. They offer significantly lower pay than jobs at the same level at other agencies, and there are big discrepancies within bands at freuds. Extremely cliquey - you'll be required to do some sucking up to people to get what you want, as bluntly, project teams are built on favouritism, so be prepared to navigate a whirlwind of internal politics. Very high proportion of 'private school people' who are quite obnoxious which can make it, at times, a very uncomfortable place to be if you're not the cookie-cutter freuds person (something I felt myself and saw many others experience). Patchy skills and training and very little support for juniors who aren't taught key skills. Working from home was banned so it feels like they don't really trust you.

There's a culture of fear disseminating from the very top. It's common to see directors belittled and undermined by the more senior management, who pass this fear on throughout the agency. Nepotism is also rife with unqualified people being given jobs.
