Pros

Great bunch of incredibly talented humans with 'low ego emission'. People really work as a team here, are accepting and supportive of each other. A great place to work and thrive!

Cons

Being part of Omnicom and housed in their main London office in Southwark it can feel quite corporate... A mix of The Office, Ugly Betty with a tad of MadMen. Wish we were still in the legendary King's Cross location.

Hi – it’s Sairah here. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I’m really glad to hear you feel surrounded by talented, supportive people who work together as a true team—that’s exactly the culture we strive for, and it’s wonderful to know that’s what you’re experiencing. I understand and relate to your feelings about the move to Southwark and the change in atmosphere that’s come with it. The King’s x studio was such a special place for many of us. While the move proved our spirit is within us rather than a space, it's hard not to look back fondly (and miss that amazing kitchen!). Thank you again for sharing, and for being such a core part of the family. If you have ideas on how we can make our current space feel even more like ‘us’, we'd love to hear them and I hope you're enjoying the new layout with the epic sofa that recently landed!

Pros

I have only been with Wolff Olins for a short time but so far I have had a fantastic experience. The team is extraordinary; it's inspiring and humbling to work with such talented folks. Here's a great mix of on the one hand young, bright and ambitious folks at the beginning of their careers and - on the other - very experienced, knowledgable staff who have often been with the agency for ten years or more. From what I can tell, there is a high retention rate - which speaks for itself. If I had to describe the overall attitude I would say people here are dedicated to their work, respectful of their colleagues and generally fun to be around all of which amounts to a strong sense of identity and culture.

Cons

The fact that the agency is owned by Omincom and housed together with a dozen of other creative businesses in a large, corporate office development doesn't do much to foster creativity, experimentation or a sense of belonging. It feels people a thriving not because but despite of the physical and operational workplace circumstances.

Hi - it's Sairah here. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts here and I'm so thrilled you're enjoying being at WO. It's great to have you with us! We're very lucky to have such an amazing team and I agree the mix of skills and tenure are a really powerful mix. It certainly makes things fun and the work impactful. We know the studio space could use more love and we're taking it stage by stage. Watch out for changes over the summer and then let us know what you think!
