      Communications research with a twist.

      Pros

      Relationship with Edelman. High profile client base with complex communications challenges. Range of client types (tech, QSR, healthcare, education, etc.). Amazing opportunity for growth (promotions are merit based, not restricted to position openings). Great responsibility at junior levels. A place where researchers are consultants vs. data monkeys - high visibility within Edelman. Small / nimble team.

      Cons

      There is still a lot of educating (i.e. why research matters) within the walls of Edelman. Quick turn projects are becoming the norm vs. the exception - this leads to intense timelines and long hours. Leadership, skills and work ethics are not consistent across offices.

      Pros

      Good people work there, get the future of PR and where it's heading. Each office has it's own culture, very different.

      Cons

      Poor work, life balance. Could have better commuting benefits. Need better communication between upper management and staff. Overall culture needs to improve in certain offices.

      Pros

      Great company name recognition and top-tier clients in terms of visibility.

      Cons

      Burn-out is an accepted part of culture, which is unfortunate because so many talented people arrive, get wrung-out and leave. Employees are not valued, and leadership is negative and reactive. I spent 6+ years at Edelman and learned a great deal, but I will never go back.
