Anyone from EssenceMediacom who can tell me what the state of the company is like at the moment? I’ve heard about layoffs happening in the past year. I Have been looking at a senior analyst role in UK. Would you recommend? Any insight would be great thanks!

So no real layoffs?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞
