Thanks for your feedback. It's great to hear you had so many opportunities and were able to benefit from the great minds at Edelman. I'm sorry to hear about your onboarding experience. There is the Day 1 HR onboarding and then there is the group level onboarding that should be happening over the course of your first weeks and months. Sounds like one of our teams dropped the ball on the latter. I'd love to hear more if you'd be willing to reach out at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com. Thank you! Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Pros

Great creatives and nice offices.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity. A lot of talk of moving up, opportunity, no action.
