Pros

Edelman has a historically good reputation; company offers a lot of sick days that roll over

Cons

The vibe is very corporate feeling from the second you walk in the office. The overall compensation and benefits package is not competitive with the market. Leadership is gossipy and plays favorites. I would try to describe the culture, but there isn't one to speak of. HR and leadership are aware of the culture problems, but haven't done anything to address the issues over several months. Plans have been made, but not action was taken. We were told the "employees are supposed to create the culture", but it is hard to do that with no resources or support. As an employee, you don't feel valued or empowered, but instead feel extremely replaceable. People are leaving this office in droves and positions are not being backfilled, resulting in team members without managers, uneven workloads and total confusion on plans for teams.

I'm sorry to read your post. I can start by telling you that leadership and HR care deeply about our employees and are always working towards improvement. I am confident that the local teams in your office are doing important work to progress against some of the issues you mention, however we are always open to suggestions, so please feel free to reach out to me to share some of the ideas you have around how we can improve the experience for our employees.

Thanks for your review. I'm glad you like the bike rack, but I consider it a problem if that's legitimately your highlight. Please discuss your career growth aspirations openly with your manager if you haven't already. Our industry is evolving quickly and it's rarely the case that a hard-working employee pursuing an area of interest conscientiously and with self awareness has no room to grow here. I hope you make progress on your chosen path soon. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR
