Pluspunten

The people you get the opportunity to work with are phenomenal. They are talented, smart, ambitious and wonderful - you also get the opportunity to work with amazing clients and on some really awesome projects.

Minpunten

You have to have a good manager and a manager that is an advocate for you, or else you will completely fail here. Much of the senior leadership loves to hear themselves talk, without much listening and consideration from the mid level staff. Even though this is an agency, you will ALWAYS work long hours, with no breaks, even on holidays as clients will never be pushed back on for unrealistic asks/many managers do not care if their direct reporters are overburdened by work. The environment is also not very understanding of any flaws that happen in the day to day being human, leaving an unrealistic expectation of perfection that impossible to achieve.

I loved reading your positive perceptions of Edelman-your colleagues, the clients and the awesome projects. The observations you mention in your cons are disappointing to hear. We want our employees to find the right balance, however they define that for themselves, and we try to offer many programs to address these issues. Long hours can absolutely happen, dependent on the client issue, but days like that should be the exception and not the norm. If you'd be open to sharing more, I hope you'll reach out at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com. Thank you. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
