Too busy to help

Pros

Free lunch on your first day; frequent company meetings Some interesting projects across the team Other Edelman colleagues (as opposed to Edelman DxI) are friendly and eager to help CEO is friendly and keeps employees updated

Cons

Support network not great - extensive online training video library, but you'll only get hands-on help from teammates if you complain to management (and even then, teammates are swamped and will themselves complain that they need to spend more time on helping others) Very siloed - you work on your area and nothing else, even if you have free time and can help other teams New business pitches only use who's available, instead of using the best person for that pitch. In more than one case, the pitch criticised a current client (without stating it was a client) to win the pitch for a competitor's business Management only points out negatives, both of staff who have left or in your performance review - there's no plan to help people improve or work together with others So busy that many meetings began with staff discussing how busy they are. The team leader worked 50 hours on their week off, while others were routinely emailing after 10pm
