MMGY Global reviews

Working at this organization, I experienced a huge contrast between their stated core values and the reality of daily operations. They claim to be "INCLUSIVE," emphasizing the importance of embracing differences and growing together. In practice, initiatives like the DEI council and ERGs were undermined by a lack of leadership involvement and significant roadblocks imposed by the Chief of Staff, rendering them ineffective.   Their commitment to "EMPOWERING" employees seemed empty, as opportunities to shine were contingent on overworking oneself, with credit often stolen by management/leadership while any minor mistake was quickly criticized. "CURIOUS" was another core value, emphasizing a relentless pursuit of new ideas for groundbreaking success. In reality, the organization leaned heavily on recycling past campaigns, showing little genuine interest in innovative thinking.   The value of being "CREATIVE" was not upheld, as the organization was resistant to implementing solutions that would disrupt the status quo, favoring a return to outdated practices. Lastly, their claim to be "TRANSFORMATIVE" by seeking new opportunities and embracing change felt disingenuous. Leadership often only embraced change when it served their personal agendas and the pursuit of accolades, rarely showing up to genuinely support initiatives they suggested implementing.   Ultimately, the organization's leadership frequently took credit for employee-driven solutions, convincing employees that these experiences were building resumes and offering career opportunities. While there was some truth to this, a significant portion of the efforts felt wasted and did not contribute to personal or professional growth. Under the new CEO's leadership, the organization appears to be cultivating followers rather than nurturing leaders, leaving employees feeling disillusioned and undervalued.

Unfortunately, I don't have many positives to say about my experience at MMGY Global. They make a lot of promises that they don't deliver on, including transferring team members to different offices, opportunities for promotions/bonuses, etc. Throughout COVID, they were very adamant that everyone return to their respective offices as quickly as possible, which resulted in employee backlash as the perception was that work was more important than employee safety. When people spoke up and voiced concerns, they were either reprimanded or terminated. Entire teams quit as a result of their actions during COVID-19. I witnessed first-hand numerous examples of them putting profit over people, and it was so disappointing. The turnover while I was there was worse than any other agency I've worked at, and the general sentiment from the staff was that everyone seemed completely disposable. This is a company that believes that 2% salary increases annually is generous, and because they are owned by private equity, staff is consistently overworked and underpaid.
