Vantaggi

- Looks excellent on a resume if you want to be in PR. - Excellent client roster. - Free Shake Shack sometimes.

Svantaggi

- Women are promoted significantly less often than men; the junior workforce is 85% women and senior management is 85% men. - People absolutely fudge their hours to boost their utilization rate, which especially sucks for nonprofit clients. - Diversity is nonexistent. Edelman employees are largely white, from upper-class backgrounds, hyper-extroverted, non-disabled. - The 360 review process allows coworkers who are literally competing with you for promotions to weigh in on whether you advance or not. - Managers can be hit or miss -- mine pretty much forgot I existed until I put in my 2 weeks notice, and then she refused to look at or speak to me (not even a "farewell"). - Hyper-competitive environment. - Work-life balance is nonexistent - I regularly worked 9am-9pm and then was expected to be "on call" when I left the office.

I'm disappointed to hear that you had a less than ideal experience at Edelman and I’d welcome the opportunity to talk if you’re willing to share more specific feedback about work/life balance, your review experience, your work environment or anything else (maria.okeeffe@edelman.com). I was also concerned to read the stats you included about diversity. While increasing diverse representation of our staff continues to be a major priority, I want to take a moment to share our current stats for anyone else reading this. In the U.S., four out of five geography presidents are women (80%), which is in addition to our female US COO, US CFO and Chief Talent Officer. Our US workforce is currently more than 25% racially and ethnically diverse and over 50% of our EVP and above employees are female. We are actively working to improve further, while taking care to prioritize inclusion initiatives, as well. Thanks for your review and I hope to hear from you. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director US HR.

Vantaggi

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Svantaggi

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
