Worked at Cognizant before. Toxic culture. A true body shop. Hard pass.

Is this in the consulting division? Associate Director is a consulting Sr. Manager. Culture and work in Consulting is a lot better than the rest of the org.

@EY1 - which group were you in?

Big 4 all the way

Only do Cognizant as a last resort

What’s your work-life balance like?

Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
