Edelman reviews

While this company brags about being #1, the Silicon Valley office has been losing clients, losing money, and losing staff like crazy lately. A high-level exec recently came to the office and ripped a new one to the entire staff (mostly comprised of new hires, by that point, with all the recent turnover) implying that the whole country is watching the office, waiting to see if we fail or succeed. Promotions/raises have been extremely minimal this past season and promise to be similar this season, at which point Edelman Silicon Valley is bound to exacerbate the Great Exodus of its most valuable talent. That's good news if you're looking for an immediate hire but bad news if you're looking to grow in a career. The other piece is: Edelman states its low salary compared with competition is outweighed by its career growth potential--well, not in the Silicon Valley office, with this trajectory. Look at the cards: if everyone is leaving, it's probably for a reason.

Bad senior management who is only held accountable on P&L performance - not quality of management or performance of current accounts Absolutely no type of formal staffing model Work is never evenly distributed No work/life balance Negative reputation among clients as "salesy" Low pay, little incentive for long hours employees put in
