Pros

It's a great platform to learn and some of their practices are very employee centric

Cons

They will break you, if you know how to do politics and be nice to your bosses , you can probably nail your stay there . Otherwise it's a dog eat dog world out there. The.moment you slip or are forced to slip, they don't forgive you and make you feel miserable.

I'm glad to hear you found Edelman to be employee-centric and a good place to learn, although I'm sorry to read your thoughts on office politics. While what you shared has not been my own experience, I would appreciate learning more about your time at the firm, including where you were located, in case I can help address any of your constructive feedback for your former colleagues. I hope you'll reach out to me at maria.o'keeffe@edelman.com. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
