      Talented Teams, Dream Clients, High Expectations

      Pros

      Edelman has far and away the most talented teams in the industry and subsequently has a dream client list. Everyone is smart and hard-working (if you're not, you're driven out pretty quickly), so it's easy to respect everyone you work with. We have unparalleled access to resources and the company value of "entrepreneurial spirit" isn't just marketing hype - I genuinely feel like I can drive change and make things happen without red tape, both internally and externally. That said, if you like a lot of attention or hand-holding, it's definitely not the agency for you.

      Cons

      Grueling pace and high expectations make for long hours and stressful days.

      What an amazing place to work

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people, the global network, the firm's reputation, the benefits...the list goes on. As a junior employee, there is a lot of opportunity for growth and you have the chance to experience many different things and move up the ladder quickly.

      Cons

      You will work a lot, no doubt about that. Salary is a little low but the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

      Not worth the stress

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Because Edelman is so title driven, it's easy to climb the corporate ladder at a faster pace than other companies - Working from home isn't an issue

      Cons

      - NO work-life balance - consider 60-hour work weeks and all-nighters the norm. There is little respect for personal time, including vacations, weekends and nights. - Office politics are an issue - a VERY title-driven company. Those without titles are often treated poorly by senior leadership. - An EXTREMELY fast-paced environment leads to quantity over quality. Not recommended for creatives looking to develop new skills and build their portfolio. - High turnover rate - Non-creatives often like to play creative director. This often leads to a high-stress environment, harsh creative feedback and amateur end-products. - Low pay, few bonuses
