Pros

Nice offices, bagel friday's, great DTC assignments, a focus on winning prizes.

Cons

a mediocre leadership team, legacy executives who are mediocre at best, they fire winners and keep losers, uninspiring leaders, lack of ambition. Publicis Health is the wart on Publicis Groupe. Groupe leaders don't like the Health group and it's obvious. But what's there to like. It's a weak leadership group and it has been for 5 years. There is a reason no one leaves to go for bigger jobs. No one wants them. They aren't recruited. Oh, and they are so very weak from a diversity standpoint. Walk into their Philly office. 500 people and most of the diverse employees work in facilities, taking out the trash. It's been that way for 20 years. They are forcing people back into the office.

Pros

Very good benefits in terms of health insurance and flexible PTO

Cons

The company promotes a positive and collaborative culture, but day-to-day operations often feel shaped by a fairly traditional corporate hierarchy and internal politics. There are multiple layers of management involved in project approvals, which can slow down decision making and extend timelines. Budgets can be restrictive, making it challenging to deliver the best possible work, while many projects are assigned deadlines that feel artificially urgent rather than based on realistic planning. As a result, teams often spend more time navigating processes than focusing on meaningful execution and creative problem-solving. Work often felt siloed, despite the company's push for a hybrid return-to-office environment intended to encourage collaboration. Mentorship for creatives new to the pharma industry was limited, which often resulted in unclear direction and a steeper learning curve than necessary. In turn, this could affect project timelines and budgets. At times, it felt like employees were viewed primarily as resources to keep work moving rather than as individuals whose skills and careers were being actively developed through thoughtful guidance and constructive critique.
