Pluspunten

Challenging work. Good benefits Exposure to different clients and streams of work. Creative environment with creative problem solving. Overtime pay Edelman is successful for a reason.

Minpunten

Long hours + Low pay Poor culture; very passive aggressive to your face and VERY aggressive behind your back. This seems to be the case across different practices. No one really likes their job, even if they are quite good at it (which says a lot about how the company is run) VERY political Difficult to know who to trust across the practice High pressure the majority of the time Very much a "sink or swim" culture Every assignment is NOT a high priority, but they are treated this way Leadership is lacking - you can be a strong leader without being mean or belittling people.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I'm sorry that you experienced the negative things you mentioned. I agree with you that Edelman may not be for everyone, but we'd like everyone to have an overall positive experience here. No one is perfect and no one should be made to feel that they need to be perfect to thrive here or anywhere. I'm taking note of your feedback and wish you well. 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.
