Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Edelman full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Very interesting brands and the actual work itself was intriguing
Cons
- Open office (difficult for those with potential disabilities and sensory processing issues) - I am a female with Autism and ADHD - I also now have a PhD with award-winning quantitative research skills and a dissertation that focuses on digital media. Instead of accommodating and making use of my skills, they fired me. - Humiliating treatment from then management who sat me down with a red pen, and forced me to circle my typos on a rough draft while she watched. I have a disability, I process visual information differently. Completely unacceptable.

Pros
Major clients, global network of bright thinkers, PR industry leader, great location across from the ROM

Over the years, Edelman Toronto’s heart has waned. Senior management can be myopic when it comes to choosing future leaders.

Edelman2019-06-04Thank you for your review. I'm glad you think Edelman is a "best place to work". Me too! I'm also happy to share that we've just rolled out an employee engagement platform that gives everyone the opportunity to directly provide feedback to their managers and those in the reporting line above them on a quarterly basis. I'm confident that this tool will help open communication channels with top management. We appreciate your feedback and I wish you the best. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR
