Pros

GREAT coworkers. The company knows how to find friendly and intelligent people who help you get the job done. There are a lot of projects one can work on to improve knowledge in one's given field. A great work environment for employees. The company does find ways to put together outside entertainment to keep the work/life balance in check. This is also a company that is excellent at keeping their employees updated with what is happening. Work from home is very acceptable with mgmt, which is a great help to those with families!

Cons

Cliq's are for high school, not corporations. Company can sometimes be reactive to problems instead of proactive. Mgmt needs to find a way to consolidate meetings. Many lengthy meetings cause employees to stay late in order to catch up on work.

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.
