Gotta go Weber—think they have Jordan Rittenberry now. Man, that guy is clutch.
Earlier this year I was talking to Weber and it went nowhere as they could not make up their mind about what they wanted and the entire process was focused only on the salary - v. little on career growth, leadership, etc. It could be down to the talent person I spoke too, but they were not able to share any information that I was asking about the type of work the team does, what kind of clients they work with in this specific office, and so on. In the end, they were just focused on the number and keo checking back in whether I would be OK with xy amount and then just never got back to me.
I'd say it's chaos as any consultancy and you should look for an exit as opposed to switching.
That sounds like a terrible time. I'm counting it as a blessing that the process stopped where it had.
Neither. Edelman is demolishing creative and Dan Edelman is off his rocker.
Richard, not Dan. The latter was the founder. Correct, sadly, about creative.
Which city? Makes a difference in terms of experience at Weber. And not sure if the policy varies by office but expectation at our office is 3 days in office, but not formally a mandate yet.
NYC!
Worked at WS for 3.5 years. Good culture and good people, but pay conversions have always been EXTREMELY frustrating. I loved the work and the people and I got a lot of praise but I always felt underestimated and severely underpaid the entire time I was there. There are a ton of people that leave Edelman to come to WS and vice versa, at all levels, I think the two firms are more alike than different but I seem to see a lot of people complaining about Edelman on here. Also there’s been a huge exodus of leadership from Edelman to WS since Jim O’Leary left Edelman to become WS NA CEO. In terms of competitive edge and positioning, I think WS is a bit more forward thinking and creative these days whereas Edelman seems to be a bit more stuck on old school, big corporate, bread and butter PR firm, but that could be my own bias.
Hybrid work policy when I was there seemed very loose and unenforceable, seems to vary from office to office. Lots of people in NA are “permanently remote” and were “based” in an office but lived nowhere near it (not sure what the specifics of those arrangements look like) — for me it was mostly come and go as you please/when it makes sense. Ultimately I feel like as long as stuff gets done no one really cares where you are but leadership pushes for in person things as leadership does
I love working at Weber, but I will agree - like many PR agencies - the pay is lacking. The work we do seems like it actually matters & usually leadership is pretty good at giving kudos. Right now, the agency is definitely leaning more towards creative work and trying to become a full-fledge PR and advertising agency IMO.
Hybrid policy in NYC is 3 days in office, 2 days remote but nobody actually does that. Most people come in when they want - usually averaging out to once or twice a week.
