Extremely Toxic Environment

Pros

You get to work on some really fun accounts and projects

Cons

Having to learn through constant negative feedback was a significant challenge in itself. What's more alarming is the complete absence of any team culture here. The workplace dynamics resemble those of high school mean girls, creating a toxic environment where collaboration is nearly impossible. Asking questions is discouraged, leaving you to fend for yourself without support. My experience at Edelman took a severe toll on my mental health, yet HR showed little to no concern. Despite my efforts to navigate these challenges, I found myself isolated and unsupported. They do not care about junior employees here, as evidenced by the lack of mentorship, guidance, and acknowledgment of our contributions. Given my ordeal, I cannot in good conscience recommend this job to anyone seeking a healthy and supportive work environment.
