      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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

      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.
