Should I become a sr. Manager at Kraft Heinz, or should I become a management consultant at Publicis Sapient (PS)? The pay is about equal. Pros for Kraft: interesting work with no travel; Cons for Kraft: uncertainty in career progression. Pros for PS: interesting work; cons for PS: 50 percent travel. Which one will you choose? Will being a consultant, even for a short time, 1-2 years, accelerate your career growth? Thanks!
Khc sucks balls. You are better off doing nothing.
PS is a hellhole of micromanagement and bullshit work. Kraft, obviously.
Completely agree
Even Warren Buffett regrets investing in Kraft. He overpaid and the growth is where?
They posted 6% earning this quarter. So at least they are on a positive trend?
I get how that’s exciting to… Walmart 🤣
Kraft culture sucks big time. They don’t invest in you and treat you as a commodity. You are disposable at a moments notice. Everything is urgent and a priority there and you end up working for many many hours. No training for managers and managers behave like ICs and lookout only for themselves.
My supposed team seems to be nice and capable. But that can be my rosy version of looking in from the outside.
I worked in publicis sapient and their management roles are not on par with others. With recent acquisitions it’s bureaucratic and political mess. I recommend Kraft any day over ps
As someone that spent time working with both companies, I’d choose neither. They are both good companies but I’d recommend aiming higher.
Can you suggest some good companies to work for? By good company I mean companies have good cultures?
Google?
Tc or
If u need more advice dm me. I know publicis very well
Hey! I’m getting ready for interview, did you work there?
Did you mean sapient ? Yes I did
Kraft Heinz is struggling and culture is awful.
Second this
Third this. Turnover is insane for a reason. 0 SMEs as literally everyone who was anything left years ago. 3G ran both companies into ground and its legit worst culture you can think of. Forced return to office where no one talks to each other, just put headphones on and go about day like robots. Everyones out For themselves and there is 0 room to grow
I wouldn’t want that kind of travel but that’s just me. Surprised Publicis is paying the same as Kraft. Agencies tend to pay less than client side.
The base is the same. The bonus is less in PS than in Kraft.
