Edelman is a leading global communications firm specializing in public relations and marketing.
Management was misleading about why I was actually hired.
Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
Team and clients are great, but layoffs are too frequent team, clients, and account growth
