      Pros

      Incredibly inclusive culture. People are fun and social and welcoming. I feel respected, encouraged, and supported in my role here. I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of this team. Edelman is doing some groundbreaking things--no longer just in the PR world, they are a social agency doing advertising and interdisciplinary marketing for huge brands. I'm honored to be a part of it.

      Cons

      I honestly don't have much to complain about. We work in a very competitive industry, so there are (of course) late nights and difficult client demands, but that's just par for the course. Everyone brings their A game and hustles to make a contribution.

      A disappointing experience from a highly-regarded company that continues to mislead employees

      Pros

      This company is well-known across the US as a top PR agency - having Edelman on your resume is a competitive advantage. The office has a relaxed atmosphere (dress code, layout, etc.) that is conducive to a creative environment.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is non-existent. Depending on your team, you can put up to 70 hours a week in, and upper management will ask you in so many words to not bill all the hours you work. There are not enough junior members on teams to manage the work that is passed down. The compensation is not nearly enough for the time and hard work you will expend at this company.
