Pros
Edelman is a great place to start your career, get your experience, and get out. If you’re lucky, you will have one or two people on your team who are helpful and supportive.
Cons
There are lots of users here. A lot of the senior staff take advantage of the junior staff. At one point, I ran campaigns by myself while my supervisor did absolutely nothing. She would sit in meetings, say WE were going to do the work, then when we would get off the calls, make me do everything. No one ever says thank you when you complete a task, they just ask for more. I was severely overqualified for my role and no one ever advocated for me to get promoted. I’ve had coworkers who were emotionally abused by execs. This behavior would be reported to HR, but no one would do anything to help. These perpetrators have been here for years and years and believe this behavior is normal. After much turnover on my team, i’m proud to say that I’m finally out. Leaving this place has felt like I left a toxic relationship.
