Culture

Publicis Sapient has a purpose-driven culture, purpose-built by all of us: we help people thrive in the brave pursuit of next. It’s the collective work of thousands of our people across the globe, volunteers who participated in workshops, conversations, and feedback sessions. Together, they developed our purpose and the supporting core values that make us all proud. 

Our mission is to give you the flexibility, security and time off you need to take care of yourself, your loved ones and your unique interests. While you’ll find we have a lot of fun, we place great importance around knowing our teams deserve a healthy and supportive workplace. When it comes to inspiring wellbeing, we have a clear vision: to make conversations around mental health and wellbeing the norm so they become deeply embedded in our culture. With our dedicated team of mental wellbeing ambassadors and support from senior leadership, you can feel confident you’ll be joining an environment where you can be happy and thrive.

We have a nurturing and open culture that champions every individual in their growth. Staff are offered training in accessible design, unconscious bias, what CMOs want, allyship and mental health first aid. 

Every year, caring people and teams across Publicis Sapient dedicate countless hours to global, local, and virtual volunteering. These programs are an extension of our purpose, helping marginalized people, communities and causes thrive in the future. That’s why every Publicis Sapient person is encouraged to give at least one day a year to a community service project of their choice.

Diversity

Publicis Sapient is deeply committed to diversity and inclusion in spirit and in action at every level of the organization. Diversity of thought drives our strategy and our purpose to help people thrive in the brave pursuit of next.

We believe that the more diverse the people we bring together to develop our thinking and our creativity, the more effective the outcomes. Our commitment translates through our policies and practices for recruitment, retention, career progression, workplace flexibility, training and development.

Alongside our policies and practices, we support and elevate each other through multiple groups such as Égalité, VivaWomen! and Headline. 

  • Égalité is committed to enhancing our reputation as an employer of choice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees and their allies by promoting equality in the workplace, supporting the LGBT community and helping to develop leaders who can elevate our clients’ brands within the hearts and minds of the LGBT community.
  • VivaWomen! is dedicated to the cultivation, collaboration and advancement of its members while helping position Publicis Groupe, our parent company, as an employer of choice for women. VivaWomen’s programming is centered on mentorship, leadership, professional development and career navigation.
  • Headline seeks to normalise the conversation around mental health and wellbeing so that they can become deeply embedded in our culture. It sets out our vision and strategy for mental health and wellbeing, with the key aim being to support our people in terms of their mental health and change the way we behave; creating an environment in which people can be their whole selves and have more good days at work.

As part of our dedication to an inclusive and diverse workforce, Publicis Sapient is committed to Equal Employment Opportunity without regard for race, colour, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or religion.

What Graduates Say About Them
  • Flexible and kind culture
  • The people and organisational culture. Within my first 6 months, I have made lifelong friends and mentors who provide me with endless support and guidance to navigate my early career.
  • The culture, Colleagues with different backgrounds, possibility to rotate across different capabilities and maximise learning, personality are valued and career advancement strongly supported
  • Flexibility, challenging problems to solve, a very friendly culture, and a balanced work lifestyle.
  • The culture is fantastic. People are great—supportive, collaborative, and overall just super nice.
  • As PS is a growing company, not many people know the brand name outside of consulting, so it is sometimes hard to explain who I work for and what I do.
  • Some internal processes are still clunky.
  • I can't think about minuses! XD.
  • If I had to, then I'd say the salary could be a bit higher. But I'm happy with the current number, and there's no real negative I've come across.
  • People not coming into the office.
