Ogilvy General Manager - Human Resources salaries in India

Likes

Ogilvy is one of the best places to work. Brimming with creativity and achievement, it offers ample opportunity to think, create and deliver for everyone at all level. As a HR professional I feel proud to have generated the awareness about the offings that HR has for an agency. Along with contributions on controlling attrition, hiring in innovative ways, compensation redesign, performance appraisals, people engagement, Development and Assessment Centers, Training at local level, I got global exposure by way of my reporting to APAC office. Best experience has been about innovative ways of hiring where an Ogilvy Alumni Community was created to maintain the database and approach the ex ogilvy people for hiring. Another very innovative way of hiring was the policy of adopting an Institution.

Dislikes

Ogilvy being the leader in its industrial domain has not been an excellent pay master, its considered more as a launch pad for a fresher who would master the art of work and would command very high pay using ogilvy tag.

Wonderful Creatives. Lots of opportunities to do good work. Supportive bosses. Good work-life balance.

Dislikes

The pay. My advice would be to negotiate hard before joining the company because post that one can expect 10-15% appraisals depending on performance.

Everyone in the advertising industry must work in Ogilvy to get the stamp in their resume because the creative work is actually very amazing and of high quality.

Dislikes

To begin with, the brand name matters a lot. People get good opportunities to shape up his/her individual skills. And open culture, that definitely plays a huge role.

Dislikes

Everything is good except one thing. A bad pay master! The organisation doesn't pay what people deserve.

Its a great place to work if you are from the creative field. The work culture is one of the best in the industry. The management during the pandemic took all the possible efforts to keep the salaries intact. So if you are honest with your work then job security will never be a problem here.

Dislikes

Compensation is average, but growth is pretty decent. The work pressure is like every other ad agency, if you have been in one. Work-life balance will be a myth if you wish to pursue your career in advertising. You better tie a knot in your gut and accept this.
