Pros

I've had the ability to work with a lot of great people over my time at Ketchum, and the company used to be a great place to work.

Cons

Omnicom has absolutely gutted Ketchum and its culture. Layoffs have been a constant threat over the past few years, the company has operated without a CEO for months now, a benefit seemingly gets taken away every few months (often with as minimal notice as Omnicom can get away with), and there is a significant lack of trust between leadership and staff. Morale as a result is incredibly low, and it shows in how people show up to the office.

Pros

Smart people, nice colleagues to learn and grow with. People are invested in each other despite contraints from the agency.

Cons

-Benefits keep getting worse with every year (mergers, acquisitions, holding firm in a bad economy affect all this) -Not much of a defined company culture or competitive advantage here. I fail to see what makes this place better or more special than any other agency.
