Omnicom Media Group SME Reviews

Likes

Love getting 8-11% increments? Omnicom’s got you covered! But you’ll also enjoy the bonus of toxic 'joker' bosses who can’t even string a grammatically correct sentence together.

Dislikes

Omnicom has the most toxic work culture I've ever experienced. The company is essentially run by the CFO, while the CEO has little to no authority. The level of hypocrisy here is staggering. For example, the finance team was tasked with monitoring my LinkedIn and WhatsApp statuses daily and reporting even minor actions, like attending a webinar, back to the CFO. It was constant micromanagement over the smallest details. The so-called women CEOs, who love to champion women’s rights online, were some of the worst offenders. They engaged in daily mental abuse and endless escalations. On top of that, the company is involved in shady dealings, often asking employees to forge documents or emails to cover their tracks. And if you refuse to participate in these unethical practices? You’re fired. If you're looking for a supportive, transparent, and ethical workplace, Omnicom is definitely not it. Stay far....Read More

There’s nothing to like. It’s the worst company ever.

Dislikes

I had a very disappointing experience working at Omnicom. The company has no job security, and mass layoffs are common, with little to no warning. The higher management, especially the CEO and CFO, do not care about the employees. There is no transparency, and decisions seem to be made without thinking about the impact on people’s lives. One of the worst things is the toxic environment, especially the business CEOs. The CEO there openly abuses team members in front of others during meetings. This behavior is not just unprofessional but extremely disrespectful. It creates a culture of fear, and there’s no regard for an individual’s self-respect. I would not recommend working here if you’re looking for stability or a healthy work environment....Read More

Oh, what’s not to love about Omnicom? The constant game of office politics really keeps you on your toes, and the endless drama is better than any reality show. The way they prioritize chamchagiri over actual talent is truly inspiring—it’s like they’re running a masterclass on how not to manage a company. And let’s not forget the thrilling job insecurity; there’s nothing quite like wondering if today’s the day you get thrown out. Really keeps the excitement alive!...Read More

Dislikes

Omnicom was even trying to grab Rahul Gandhi’s election campaign advertising—because why not add some political drama to the corporate Bigg Boss show? Considering RaGa’s track record of losing elections, it seems like Omnicom found a perfect fit. Maybe they figured managing a campaign that keeps slipping away is easier than dealing with real clients. Chamchagiri in the office, failed campaigns on the side—what a match made in mediocrity!...Read More

There is truly nothing to like about Omnicom—it’s a complete trap. It’s like quicksand covered with algae: once you step in, it drags you deeper and deeper into the mess. The more you try to escape, the more stuck you become. Avoid it if you can.

Dislikes

Omnicom is involved in questionable practices, and I strongly advise caution. The company has a history of unethical transactions, including routing significant funds toward a well-known mobile brand (I’ll give you a hint: the name rhymes with Snapple). The HR leadership lacks professionalism, and the policies and committees seem tobe driven more by favoritism than by merit. The legal team appears to facilitate these questionable activities rather than ensuring compliance. If you value ethical standards and career integrity, it would be wise to consider other opportunities....Read More

Basically nothing to like about this company. I worked at Gurgaon office and I am writing this review after working for 2 years with this organisation and got laid off while I was still having a lot of deliverables.

Dislikes

1. Work culture is so pathetic. Relationship b/w employees working on higher level and the ones on lower level is literally master-slave. 2. People on higher level are very unprofessional and will speak with you with so much disrespect. It's like they are trying to satisfy their ego by lashing out on you. Even if you try to calm them down they will disrespect you even more. So, don't even expect to be given a bare minimum of respect of you are joining this company. 3. Even if you deliver your work within timelines putting so much hard work they will find a reason to show that it's all useless and will not appreciate you. Basically they will always make you feel that you are not good enough. 4. HR is a joke. They will present you the company as a dream place to work but trust me it's not as they do not have the slightest idea how to run. They do not have qualified HR to do the effective hiring. They rather usually go with the approach of hiring in bulk and firing in bulk afterwards. Basically brainless work. 5. No rewards and recognition for people sitting on lower levels. Only directors and above are given appreciation for working hard and how effectively they are running the project. Which means every quarter the same bunch of people getting awards. Like others do nothing. 6. They don't even have projects and they are hiring without even consulting the clients on the skill requirements. Just gathering the bunch to show the clients and when those employees get rejected from the client side HR starts blaming the candidate for being "not fully skilled". All in all the company is not at all employee friendly because it doesn't even check mark the basic company culture norms....Read More

There is nothing to like about this company!

Dislikes

Company's culture is very bad and the higher management has their favourites in the company. They don’t appreciate hard working employees but they do throw them out once their work is done. Basically job security is an issue in this company even when you are working hard. Managers have their ego and to satisfy their ego they can rate you bad even when you are completing your work on time. Overall it is a hole and if you wanna fall you can be a part of this company and ruin your career....Read More

Oh, there’s so much to love about Omnicom! Like the way they treat employees as disposable assets—really keeps you on your toes.

Dislikes

My experience with Omnicom was nothing short of a nightmare. I was pregnant and suffered a miscarriage, and instead of support, they decided to remove me from the job. To make matters worse, they even sent me a legal notice from their legal team. It was the most heartless and insensitive response I could have imagined during such a difficult time. Worst experience ever. Stay away if you value your well-being....Read More

It has come to my attention that the organization's reputation is its sole redeeming quality. Employees are constantly anxious about job security, and senior leadership lacks a transparent and impartial performance evaluation process. I strongly recommend that Mr. Vishal address these concerns promptly to ensure alignment between his words and actions and the organization's values. Furthermore, I urge the parent company to consider the impact of these issues on its brand value and to take steps to ensure transparency and equal opportunity....Read More

The Company hired almost 1000+ individuals in the name of expansion....most of the hired talent had a stable career and wanted growth like everyone else. 6 months past the company and the top bosses were not able to get work from global agencies so they started laying off people. An international company like Omnicom failed at studying the market and the newly hired talent had to pay the price. I would never recommend anyone to work there!!...Read More

Nothing. They make you feel everything is sugar and nice but then will throw you out all of sudden to hide their own fault.

Poorly skilled managers and illiterate higher management in India. The higher management only believes in “my way or highway”. Those who will do only as the senior management says will stay there.

- They allow us to explore new tools/skills. - You have free food - You can interact with any level managers / Directors

Dislikes

- No JOB SECURITY - They can fire you anytime. - Management is not streamlined so there are too many hanging threads. - They keep on changing the company policies, even your offer letter will change once after joining the company and force us to agree and sign the document. - It is not an employee-first company. - Your skills were not valued. Overall, it is better to look for another company, instead of joining Omnicom Media Group (Annalect)....Read More

OMG and Annalect India work together and depend on each other.

Dislikes

There is no proper collab between OMG, India office and Annalect India. Cut-throat politics Everyone saving their own job No collab between teams No one seemed to be happy or know what is going to happen Officically Mon-Fri 11am-8pm but always there will be work both days Sat, Sun and even at night after work meetings. Need to take permission to not work on weekends. Seemed like a divide and rule by keeping everyone in fear Managment even AD, D, VP have joined and left immediately. If a good person joins they extract all they can till they layoff or the person will leave, unless the person can talk sweet or play politics. I felt all top HR leaders were just hardcore bad managers, stupid, arrogant and un-friendly. They have a team to manage OMG India and Annalect India brand names and reviews on these kind of websites....Read More
