Edelman reviews about "hour"

Can be demanding with long hours

Promotion cycles have moved from every six months to annually. Several talented mid-level employees have left as a result of missed promotion windows. A real loss that feels avoidable. The shift to enforcing a three-day office requirement has caused friction, particularly for staff hired on remote contracts. Losing experienced people over a change in working arrangements, rather than performance, is a concern worth addressing. There has been a broad assumption at a senior level that AI would absorb junior responsibilities, but this has proven far more complex in practice. The result is that mid-level staff are routinely picking up junior work, which stalls their development.

low pay, long hours, many clients

Long working hours, push back and low salary rises

- Grossly underpaid for the work I do - Chaotic teams, lots of swirl - Family run business - Loyalty means nothing, folks who have been around for ages have been laid off in the past - Long hours and lots of team swirl

Constantly taking benefits away, billable hours are intense, quiet layoffs, and heavily forcing AI on us

long hours, in-office requirement, but nobody talks to each other.

Could have better clarity of work

None of the creatives I know are making very much work here, and the work they are making isn't great. It varies per team, but on a lot of the teams, creative leadership (like ECD level) just makes you execute their ideas. If you're cool with being a worker bee and don't care about making your own ideas, its a good gig. The pay is absolutely abysmal.
