Pros

Immediately part of the team and given important jobs to do involving interaction with clients. Invited to all meetings and involved with suggestions for forthcoming campaigns. Frequent interaction with senior staff through learning seminars for public relations.

Cons

Pedantic in time keeping. A bit of an English native/ Japanese native divide within company. No other comments really, it was a really positive experience!

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.
