Pros

big company with a lot of capabilities and great brands

Cons

corrupt inner-workings; deserving talent goes unrecognized for years without promotions and show ponies get recognized/pr. Lack of transparency with promotions, unfair raises and vagueness surrounding the entire topic.

Edelman Response

I appreciate you bringing your observations to our attention. Transparency is important to me and the firm at large, so I'm sorry you haven't experienced as clear of communications as you'd like. While performance management training is offered multiple times in each location annually and includes background on our performance-based promotion/salary decision-making process overall, it's possible you weren't able to attend or it didn't give you what you were looking for. If you have suggestions on how we can improve, I hope you'll reach out to me to discuss further at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

Edelman gives you real exposure to senior leaders, complex work, and smart people. You can learn a lot quickly, build strong relationships, and get close to how decisions are made. There are also good opportunities to take on meaningful projects if you are proactive and willing to speak up.

Cons

The pace can be a lot, and the work can feel reactive at times. Priorities shift quickly and roles often expand beyond the original scope without always having clear boundaries, title growth, or compensation changes. Career growth is possible, but you often have to advocate for it yourself. Overall, Edelman can be a great place to grow if you are adaptable, organized, and comfortable with ambiguity. It works best when you have strong leaders, clear expectations, and support around workload and growth. That last part is impossible to control, so may the odds be in your favor.
