I’m taking a few calls for new opps at a couple different firms and wanted to get a pulse on feelings from folks who actually work there to help me narrow it down. Agencies are: Weber Shandwick, Ruder Finn, FleishmanHillard and a smaller boutique called LifeSci Communications. From The sounds of other threads on here, I’m nervous about WS. Looking for a read on Work/Life balance, how well staffed they are, avg pay range (VP level), PTO/holidays/benefits, etc. So, how do you like working there?

Weber varies massively depending on office and even team/client. Overall not a bad place to be and the benefits are above average. Feel free to DM me to ask specific questions that are harder to ask/answer in a public forum (even if largely anonymous).

Thanks! Sent you a DM!

I agree with the other Weber responses. Completely entirely depends on your office / team.
