Amazing Organization but Answers to a Holding Company
Pros
The best part of RAPP is its people and its resilience in holding onto it's culture despite it being under the Omnicom umbrella along with other agencies. They emphasize individuality, empathy, precision, and work-life balance in a health, pragmatic way.
Cons
RAPP is unfortunately under the Omnicom umbrella and are answerable to the toxic culture that OMC seems to drip into it's other agencies. This comes as RTO policies that track badges, IP address logins, and now they'll be tracking in-office hours for hybrid work. Being under this umbrella also means that in some shape or form RAPP is and will be effected by OMC decisions and leadership structures ranging from the IPG merger to Wren's planned retirement as CEO in 2028 (an election year). RAPP is wonderful, but if you're considering working here, look into OMC and how that effects the working environment, job security, job advancement, etc. We also got notice that employees will only be receiving 25% of the first 2% of employee contributions as an employer match for their 401K (this was a top-down decision from my understanding). This means for someone making $100,000 a year, you receive approximately $500 in employer contribution to your 401K for that year. Long-term instability and policy changes have been persisting since around 2023. I don't think RAPP as an organization necessarily wants to do this to their people, they're just following marching orders from above (it seems).
