I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Edelman
Interview
Very informal, met in a nearby cafe. Interviewer asked what I had studied at university and why I was interested in Edelman. There were no further stages as I had been recommended as an intelligent, hard worker by a colleague.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you see as being the main value-add of a public affairs practice for clients?
2 rounds; overall straightforward with relatively standard questions for an internship. However the internship is competitive lots of people apply to this internship but it’s a great experience I enjoyed it
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edelman (Hong Kong) in Jun 2025
Interview
Online written task on press release and social media post drafting. Can finish it in one hour. After that will be in person interview with managers. Interview questions are easy and casual.
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (New York, NY)
Interview
Only did the first round which was a phone screening. Recruiter didn't seem that engaged and sounded like they were in a rush to get off the phone. Communication via email is quick though, and they're transparent about the process and updates so that's a plus.
