      I wish I would have listened to Glassdoor reviews. - Vice President Edelman Employee Review

      Pros

      Pay and exposure to big name clients.

      Cons

      Edelman is an old sinking ship. Very out of touch with anything going on in the industry. Profits are down, and morale and culture are dismal. I read negative glassdoor reviews before I started and wish I would have listened and stayed away. I don’t have 1 coworker that can say they truly enjoy working here. For the first time in my 15+ year career I felt men totally ran the show here and you have to be in their clique to get respect and recognition.

      Hi. I'm saddened to read your review the day after finding out that Edelman has been certified as a "Gender Fair" company - an honor shared by only 16% of Fortune 500 companies and based on third-party evaluation using metrics based on the UN Women's Empowerment Principles. I've seen first-hand significant firm advances on this front and how much work we'd done to encourage the success of women, who comprise the majority of our staff. I'm very sorry that your experience was inconsistent with what we strive for and have achieved in many places. If you're willing to share more with me so I can look into it, please reach me at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

      Pros

      Edelman gives you real exposure to senior leaders, complex work, and smart people. You can learn a lot quickly, build strong relationships, and get close to how decisions are made. There are also good opportunities to take on meaningful projects if you are proactive and willing to speak up.

      Cons

      The pace can be a lot, and the work can feel reactive at times. Priorities shift quickly and roles often expand beyond the original scope without always having clear boundaries, title growth, or compensation changes. Career growth is possible, but you often have to advocate for it yourself. Overall, Edelman can be a great place to grow if you are adaptable, organized, and comfortable with ambiguity. It works best when you have strong leaders, clear expectations, and support around workload and growth. That last part is impossible to control, so may the odds be in your favor.
