Pros

Stimulating work, fun environment, and great people

Cons

Training is insufficient. My manager would rather not train me and take home the work than give me the responsibilities that she hired me for. She is toxic and rude. The company is email driven and is a culture shock. The pay is not competitive and the benefits are middle of the road. The only reason that this is a company to work for is the name on the resume.

I'm sorry to hear that despite liking the work, colleagues and environment your experience is colored more impactfully by a feeling that you're lacking adequate attention from your manager. I encourage you to reach out to local HR or to me to help work thorough this. While nothing can replace on-the-job training, I do hope you'll also explore our extensive library of on-demand training available via ELI. You can reach me at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com.

Thanks for your review. I'm so happy to hear that you've found the Immersion program to be a high caliber learning experience; it's a program we're very proud of. From my perspective, decision-making always goes through as much of an objective, constructive process as possible, but I'd love to better understand your experience if you'd be open to sharing - maria.okeeffe@edelman.com.
