Employee Reviews
- “A dedication to human impact. Every organisation has the potential to have a positive impact in people’s lives - employees, customers, consumers, citizens - humans. Our work aims to unlock and realise this potential for our clients.”
- “Culture, the willingness to do what is right by the client and truly partner with them and co-create, avoiding templates or sticking to project approaches and then selling the right work only after completing what was on the plan to begin with.”
- “Great chance to gain early responsibility, which is difficult to attain anywhere else. Coming to a smaller firm has the obvious disadvantages, but also provides the opportunity to better integrate yourself within the culture (which is fantastic) and develop skills.”
- “What makes Publicis Sapient unique is our entire focus globally on helping our clients transform into digital businesses that positively impact people's lives. For us, this means our success is not about the ability to implement a program or tool; it’s inextricably linked to the ability to drive specific business outcomes and evolve products, services, and experiences over time so that the business can be ever relevant with their increasingly digital consumers.
We unlock value through a start-up mindset and modern methods, building solutions that fuse our SPEED capabilities: Strategy, Product, Experience, Engineering, and Data.” - “You will learn about more than just strategy consulting here—we live and breathe a holistic and end-to-end approach to business transformation.”
Getting Hired Here
- “Efficient interview process, time intensive for consultants to interview. Seeking smart, social and curious learners.”
- “Interview process is rigorous and challenging, ensuring candidates have strong values aligned to our company and company culture, as well as have the ability to solve problems on the spot, communicate and relate to people quickly.”
- “Three rounds, behavioral, case study and final round with Head of Strategy. Rigorous but not daunting. Could perhaps be more selective, especially with graduates. Ideal candidate is not a cookie cutter, no selective schools or MBA programs etc., just someone who can think, has some kind of interesting experience, and wants to do impactful work rather than prestigious or high paying work.”
