Pros

High-paced job in an environment that fosters fast growth. Teams are typically quite supportive of all members. Training is good and employees have a clear growth track.

Cons

I unfortunately watched clients take advantage of many situations. Team encouragement could be better, and an emphasis on morale should be stronger. Teams often understaffed. Compensation is low for the amount of work done.

Thanks for your review. I'm happy to hear you felt supported, well-trained and experienced solid growth while you were here. Finding the right staffing balance for people's interests and client needs can be a delicate balance, but one that we continually strive to achieve. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your feedback. It's great to hear you had so many opportunities and were able to benefit from the great minds at Edelman. I'm sorry to hear about your onboarding experience. There is the Day 1 HR onboarding and then there is the group level onboarding that should be happening over the course of your first weeks and months. Sounds like one of our teams dropped the ball on the latter. I'd love to hear more if you'd be willing to reach out at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com. Thank you! Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR
