Pluspunten

Edelman has a historically good reputation; company offers a lot of sick days that roll over

Minpunten

The vibe is very corporate feeling from the second you walk in the office. The overall compensation and benefits package is not competitive with the market. Leadership is gossipy and plays favorites. I would try to describe the culture, but there isn't one to speak of. HR and leadership are aware of the culture problems, but haven't done anything to address the issues over several months. Plans have been made, but not action was taken. We were told the "employees are supposed to create the culture", but it is hard to do that with no resources or support. As an employee, you don't feel valued or empowered, but instead feel extremely replaceable. People are leaving this office in droves and positions are not being backfilled, resulting in team members without managers, uneven workloads and total confusion on plans for teams.

I'm sorry to read your post. I can start by telling you that leadership and HR care deeply about our employees and are always working towards improvement. I am confident that the local teams in your office are doing important work to progress against some of the issues you mention, however we are always open to suggestions, so please feel free to reach out to me to share some of the ideas you have around how we can improve the experience for our employees. 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.
