Pros

I worked here 10 years ago and came back after leaving for five years. I came back because the business had grown, many of the same clients were still here and growing, and staff I had hired had stepped up the ladder. It seemed to be on the right path, and I've been back now almost five years.

Cons

You will never work as hard as you do here, but it is worth it on many levels. Just be ready to run (and learn and grow and have fun ...)

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.
