Vantaggi

- company benefits and perks are unparalleled anywhere else (to make up for the longest hours without extra pay you'll ever have to work) - free starbucks (to keep your extreme stress levels in check) - do they still have this?

Svantaggi

I have never read Glassdoor reviews before but I chanced upon it today from a friend, and the first thing I did was look up Klick. How in the world did I go so long not knowing this thing existed and all these comments, true in all their accounts, have been here! I gladly add my voice to the strong that I am so glad I no longer work there. Everything said by so many others were what happened to me. One time, I had the decency to go and inform my higher-up that I couldn't make it to the company party that night (one of those many summer things they force you to attend), because I had to fly out to see a client the following day, and before I knew it, the door closed behind us and I was told that if I don't go, that I would not get a bonus that year. Truth is, many others didn't go but they just weren't as stupid as me to give them courtesy. There were too many countless instances like this where the lightbulb in my head was ringing off the hook that some harassment or workplace indecency took place. There is no other place that is as crazy, bureaucratic, outrageously political, manipulative, and vindictive as this. I thought these kinds of work environment only existed on television, but in a scary way, I think they pride themselves on it and somehow have delusionally turned it into some twisted strength. I drove home every day hating the person I was becoming b/c I got a litre uglier because of the very ugly people I had to deal.

Vantaggi

Hands down the best agency I've worked at, and I've been at all the big ones. Klick is independent which is amazing. While IPG, Omnicom, WPP, and Publicis are all getting messy, Klick has not have mass layoffs in recent history. Creative is definitely valued, and there are a lot of pitches to raise your hand on. The design department is amazing and there. are always talented resources available.

Svantaggi

Most creative projects stay within "The Workshop" and aren't accessible for other creatives to work on. High level CDs often prioritize their own concepts and ideas over lifting up and mentoring other creatives. Overall all departments feel pretty top-heavy, but to be fair this is a problem across all of pharma. Some accounts feel more like we are a vendor rather than an AOR. Interviewing process can be hit or miss, sometimes super quick to hire, other times it's super dragged out across many months.

Vantaggi

You can be 100% remote

Svantaggi

I was on a 3 month contract and did not make it past the 6th week- a first in my 15 year career. Their onboarding was absolutely atrocious. My boss was resistant to walkthroughs and also did not provide necessary information- or even piecemeal information. Some senior team members never had time for walkthroughs and when they did, it was not explained well. One team member was helpful. But no one walked me through their process for projects from start to finish- its very very different from most corporate jobs. No one properly explained their style of documentation in relation to the technology- who to go to for pieces of information, etc. I requested tutorial videos repeatedly and didn't receive them. They basically expect you to ask all the right questions without actually knowing how they work. I honestly did not know why they hired me because they did not give me what I needed to success and add value to the team. No one can ask all the right questions without the proper information. It's up to the company to onboard resources properly! This was an absolutely horrible experience.
