Pros: The team is really solid, and I got to work on some big strategic communications projects. You learn a ton fast, especially coming from a smaller firm into this corporate advisory setting in the Singapore office. Good exposure to media relations.
Cons: Work-life balance here is rough. Expect long hours, often late into the evening, especially with tight client deadlines common in agency life. It's tough to really switch off, even on weekends.
Advice to Management: Try to better manage client expectations and resource allocation. More emphasis on true work-life balance, not just talking about it, would help a lot with staff retention in public relations.
