Pros

Company culture is committed to training junior talent and making them the best team members possible. I learned everything I applied to subsequent jobs at Edelman.

Cons

Like any client-facing agency job, the hours are insane and the pay is very low

Pros

- work on amazing accounts - learn a ton

Cons

- extreme gender pay gap for junior employees in the SF office. When confronted, senior management and HR admitted they knew about the pay differences for junior men and women, but they said there was nothing they could do about it. - no consequences for reported sexual misconduct by an SVP - like any business that runs on billable hours, junior employees are worked to the bone as soon as they are no longer eligible to receive overtime pay. - racist hiring, firing, and promotion practices. not a welcoming environment for people of color.
