Pros

Great leadership and great mentors.

I'm sorry you're not here to see our current DEI work, which I'm very proud to be a part of. Our approach has matured over time and it's a major priority and focus area for us; I'm confident in our DEI path and I'm sorry you didn't feel we were evolved enough on this when you were here. If there is anything you didn't share with your Talent team while here that you'd want to share now, please reach out of to me directly at Maria.OKeeffe@edelman.com. Take care.
