BBDO Reviews

Pros

- BBDO is very well known brand globally - Has some very good large clients - Globally the firm has a culture of excellence - Mad Men was based on BBDO so you can throw that as trivia around at parties (if you ever find time to attend one)

Cons

- Extreme work hours. I worked 12 hour days on an average and at least 7-8 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Most people don't have a life outside of work. - Almost all the employees in the creative team are rich bombay kids for whom the bad pay and bad hours don't matter as they are just looking for a cool gig to get extra pocket money - Only writers are respected, everyone else is a side show - No scope for strategic thinking in India office - Extremely toxic environment where Chairman and CCO India constantly gas lights, backstabs, and demeans employees. He even shouts like a maniac, gives extremely unrealistic deadlines, shows zero appreciation for your work, and constantly seeks ego massages for every little thing he does - No employee support in terms of HR, Canteen, etc. - Extremely disorganised way of working
