Pros

- Edelman, Seattle in particular, has a great culture - You get to work with some of the brightest and most driven people in the industry - There is a lot of room for growth! Edelman not only outlines what you need to do to go to the next level, but also provides continuous education opportunities through offsites, webinars, campaign recaps, etc.

Cons

- Depending on your client, you can work long hours, though my managers typically check in when they know that's the case, looking for how they can lower my workload - The pay isn't as great as in-house

Appreciate the candid feedback and we are glad to hear you like the culture at Edelman! Agree compensation is top of mind for us and we recently made a hire to specifically focus on our compensation strategy in the US. Kudos to you and your manager for having an open dialogue about hours worked - please keep that up and if you ever need another ear, visit your Seattle HR team - Denise and team are great!

Pros

Provides great experience for young employees in learning the building blocks of comms marketing; high-level accounts; opportunity for growth in a worldwide network

Cons

Favortism persists and promos/awards not always based on quality of work done, especially at senior levels. Also, the company is going through a transition and not everyone understands their new roles. Pay isn't great compared to others in the industry, especially for the hours you put in.

Pros

The smartest people in the business. Deep resources to continually learn best practices. Active commitment to delivering quality.

Cons

It is a driven culture. Good is never enough, there's always a push for great. This is exhilarating and important competitively, but is only a fitting environment for the hungry and driven.
