Can't think of any right now

Trying to pivot out of PR. Losing PR businesses. Upper management has no real world experience.

You're right that our evolution from traditional PR to more integrated communications marketing comes with its own set of challenges, opportunities and excitement (and hopefully much more of the latter!). From my perspective, our leaders span a very wide range of backgrounds and experiences and are already helping us meet our business goals in real time, so I'd be interested in hearing more about your observations on this topic if you're comfortable reaching out to me directly at maria.o'keeffe@edelman.com. Thank you. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
