      Vantaggi

      The agency had a friendly team. I am struggling with all my might to find something nice to say about Farzana Baduel.

      Svantaggi

      The firm’s founder, Farzana Baduel was the most abusive, bully and unprofessional person I have ever worked for. She would ridicule and shame well-meaning employees in front of others and throw childish tantrums over the most minor mistakes. Curzon PR colossal turnover rate speaks for itself.

      Thank you for your feedback. We have received numerous negative reviews for the first time on Glassdoor within a 6 week period coinciding with a disgruntled member of staff who was dismissed for poor performance. We conduct exit interviews and welcome feedback on Glassdoor which enables us to improve the employee experience. Whilst we will not comment on opinions, we will highlight factual inaccuracies so viewers are given a fair perspective. Factual inaccuracies: 1. Our agency environment is professional and no-one in the team from management to juniors resorts to 'screaming'. 2. Our CEO has valid experience in the PR industry and has won multiple awards, authored contributions to PR books, lectured at Universities and PR industry bodies and is a media commentator. The CEO is a CIPR Accredited PR Practitioner. Accredited PR Practitioner is a hallmark of commitment to professional excellence. Our CEO has worked on communication campaigns for governments, listed corporates and leading cultural brands. The management team all have relevant experience in the industry as well as management experience. 3. At present, the industry turnover rate is 18 months and our average turnover is twice as long as the industry average. 4. We have a zero tolerance to bullying. No formal complaints have been made to HR over the last 8 years. 5. Curzon receives unsolicited contact from recruitment agencies and headhunters with candidates who have expressed an interest in working at Curzon PR. Therefore allegation of being blacklisted is untrue.

      Vantaggi

      Very interesting clients from global corporates to middle eastern royalty. Diverse range of clients including lots of government work. Get to travel a lot as agency is hyper global with clients around the world. Research and data led, always learning about new countries, sectors etc through client projects Hybrid of full time staffers and consultant global network with good flexibility and remote working options Pure meritocracy, once you are in, your job title and salary reviews are based on competence and skills rather than years of experience and fancy universities Management is good and supportive to team. CEO is demanding but a great teacher to learn from and develop. Positive can do attitude to client projects Big focus on training and skills development The core staffers are nice bunch and feel like family after working together for years.

      Svantaggi

      Multiple phases of quality approval before work is sent out of agency, which can be frustrating when managing timelines. Seeing docs have 7 rounds of edits is not unusual! Short lead times to events etc which can create pressure to execute fast Not the best agency to join if you cannot take pressure, deadlines etc Lack of team bonding events, important as there are many consultants and staffers who do not work on the same projects. Need to be flexible as there are always projects that are given to you with tight deadlines and you just have to get on with it. People who are naturally a bit slow in their work do not do well here.
