      Horrible place to work! - Anonymous employee Edelman Employee Review

      Pros

      free food, decent office space

      Cons

      Horrible place to work, they make you feel demotivated and never give any sort of appreciation or respect. Too much office politics and the management is extremely rude and unprofessional. If you want to get insulted and humiliated time and again despite putting in your best efforts, this is the place to go. The work culture is pathetic too. Everyone here is out to put you down and there is no team work whatsoever. Would recommend everyone not to join this organization as it will ruin your mental and physical health and well being and make you feel like you are not 'good enough'. Also, their favourite word is 'proactive' which they never get sick of using.

      Even though your feedback is difficult to hear, thank you for sharing because it's one way we're able to understand different staff perspectives and make changes for the better. If you have any details you're willing to provide, including which office you worked in, so that I may have the opportunity to pass along your feedback to the relevant leaders, I'd appreciate hearing from you at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com. In the meantime, we'll be proactive in addressing possible cultural and work concerns across the firm. (You're right; we do love that word!) - Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

      Pros

      As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

      Cons

      Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
