      Okay Overall, But Better Support Needed for Early Career Roles

      Pros

      Supportive colleagues and opportunity to learn a lot quickly Good exposure to well-known clients and fast-paced agency work Helpful for building experience early in your career

      Cons

      Junior roles (Levels 1–3) often feel overlooked and undervalued No formal lunch break, which can make long days feel even longer Compensation is low compared to workload and market standards High expectations without always matching support or resources

      Horrible place; avoid at all cost

      Vice president

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are none. The management sucks and constantly changes directions, the teams are chaotic - you’re a slave - and the clients suck. They pretend they like you and value your work, but in reality, they hate you and talk behind your back to the Edelman management about how disappointing you are. Your life will be ruled by backstabbing mid-managers.

      Cons

      So many. Too many to list The clients suck. The work is repetitive. You’re just gonna do coverage reports all day you’re gonna be held to impossible deadlines the teams are chaotic. They use an ancient billing system. You can’t get expense reports done the leadership changes directions strategically twice a year. It’s impossible to keep up with your goals and they use stupid software that is chunky and stupid and it’s all just stupid. The entire agency sucks.
