Pros

You get to work on some really fun accounts and projects

Cons

Having to learn through constant negative feedback was a significant challenge in itself. What's more alarming is the complete absence of any team culture here. The workplace dynamics resemble those of high school mean girls, creating a toxic environment where collaboration is nearly impossible. Asking questions is discouraged, leaving you to fend for yourself without support. My experience at Edelman took a severe toll on my mental health, yet HR showed little to no concern. Despite my efforts to navigate these challenges, I found myself isolated and unsupported. They do not care about junior employees here, as evidenced by the lack of mentorship, guidance, and acknowledgment of our contributions. Given my ordeal, I cannot in good conscience recommend this job to anyone seeking a healthy and supportive work environment.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
