Edelman reviews

Edelman London is a large agency with single teams of more than 80 people which dictates a lot of it culture, and isn't for everyone. At the fast pace of agency life it's easy for some people to become lost. There are quite different cultures across the different teams so it's worth trying to speak to someone on your specific team to see if you think it's the right fit. Junior members should expect to work early and/or late hours relatively often and have more accounts than they can really successfully handle. People do appreciate this is a problem and are supportive of juniors but essentially it is expected for a few years. A lot of people come to Edelman because it is international. This allows you to have experience working with teams across the network which is great, but bar a very small (12 ppl globally), competitive programme which relocates you for one year there really aren't opportunities to move abroad that easily unless you have been there a long time (5+ years) and have proven your loyalty.

An intensely hours driven culture, sometimes verging on "sweatshop" mentality, some greater flexibility would really help those that commute significant distances
