      Toxic environment - Anonymous employee Edelman Employee Review

      Pros

      Company has a large network and works on some great brands.

      Cons

      It's a sweatshop led by egos. Junior staff are severely underpaid, overworked and under appreciated...which is why turnover is so high. Don't expect to have any work life balance here - you will be working into the late night and on weekends. All of the good talent leave the company quickly, probably after realizing that they are being taken advantage of and mistreated, and you are left with unprepared junior staff. Highly toxic work environment.

      I'm really disappointed to hear about your experience. It should go without saying, but we don't want anyone to feel this way. If you would be willing to reach out to me at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com, it'd be helpful to understand more about your feedback and identify what office you worked in, so I can look into your concerns further. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

      Pros

      I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

      Cons

      Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
