Pros
- The clients speak for themselves and the resume add - you have a lot of resources at your hands
Cons
- barriers to entry are high; I think of this place like an Ivy League - inaccessible and selective for the wrong reasons (ex. the referral model) - people who have been here “for life” tend to perpetuate the negative culture Edelman is known for - like lots of firms pay is low and hours are high; you’re expected to work at full capacity and if you don’t, people act like you’re not being productive - It’s a client over everything model - there’s a lot of senior staff this is preachy about taking breaks and time off while junior staff isn’t being paid a livable wage Edelman is like an exclusive club you want to get into and then you get in an realize it’s filled with nepotism and skating by on mediocrity
