Dentsu America Reviews
What is it like working at Dentsu America?
Lots to learn and fun projects.
3D Artist in Ann Arbor:
Pros: Always a new challenge
Cons: Not transparent on pay scale , underpaid compared to others with same title
Amazing people and work, mediocre rewards.
Associate Marketing Manager in Denver:
Pros: Cross-agency collaboration driving industry changing results for my clients is rewarding for myself and other self-driven, independent employees at all levels and a culture of “hiring all-stars” from across industries and markets positions teams with the technical knowledge and business solutions to consistently outperform competition and win more business and grow contract scope to continue innovating and differentiating dentsu and our clients.
Cons: Standard rewards and recognition, and falling behind as the job market heats up. Dentsu was one of the few holding companies that didn’t fully eviscerate their employee base, which was and is a huge plus. However, the historical agency pay structure is a risk now and always has been. The subsidiary companies are all committed to client value and employee retention, but are owned by a holding company committed to shareholder value. The industry has all the drive for growth necessary, but double digit growth, contract renewals and wins, record legacy client revenue growth and new account revenue are not reinvested in the teams and people that drove company growth, but is divvied out between executive pay/share disbursement/bonuses and majority shareholders. As executive pay reaches new inequality with average AND median pay, agencies will lose more talent to client-side, privately held agencies, and holding companies prepared to buy talent from the competition (although that is due to those holding companies firing hundreds or even thousands of employees at the first sign of trouble with the pandemic, so pick your poison).
It all depends on your team...
