Assembly Media, obviously integrated into Edelman. Is it really that bad or AS bad? My current agency is pretty damn toxic and I'm not sure my office will be around come the new year. This position is pretty perfect for me on paper. I've read the other threads but was hoping maybe there's a difference depending where exactly you are within the agency?

Toxic leadership. I hated it and went back to the Edelman side. Much happier now.

I was there for a year as an AE, and really enjoyed it! It was a great team, and the clients were really good to us.

There is new leadership at Assembly.

There’s one new leader. The rest are toxic. The culture is toxic. People are leaving, take that as a sign.

I can’t speak to Assembly specifically, but I would agree that your experience really depends where you are in Edelman. I’ve been here 5 years and I’ve had a positive experience. So I would go for it - you have nothing to lose by applying!

15 YOE, recently started my first tech PR job at a large, stable company & have been asked to get ~20 SMEs in front of media. Subject matter is not sexy.

I feel set up to fail & feel we should be focusing on a handful of SMEs and only our sexiest topics. Any advice on mitigating unrealistic expectations for coverage? Anyone handled similar problems in the past?
