Vantaggi
_Somewhat generous holidays allowance. However you are too exhausted to enjoy those by the time you get to your holidays. _Amongst the general horribleness you will find some very good, kind and dedicated individuals and they do make life at Edelman a tiny bit better.
Svantaggi
_Sweatshop hours. No rewards for all the hard work you will put in. Especially up to level 4 (AD). Juniors are in the office at all hours AND crying, people collapse from exhaustion. And it's not once in a while. Flag this and you will be told by your senior management team to keep your mouth shut if you want to be considered for promotion. Would you call that bullying? I will let you decide. _Politics, politics, politics. Senior management's inability to settle their bickering and their utter lack of vision are getting in the way of good people producing good work. Senior management can be seen openly criticizing other senior members of the team in front of juniors. _Expensive rates: a lot of clients struggle with the ratecards (and you will to if you're somehow in charge of negotiating new budgets... and then be blamed for it). _Office space is dreadful. People squished like sardines - not what you would expect of a 'leading' comms marketing firm' (whatever that means) _Global firm but getting opportunities abroad is actually tricky
