      Not a good place to work - Account Executive Edelman Employee Review

      Pros

      Edelman has a historically good reputation; company offers a lot of sick days that roll over

      Cons

      The vibe is very corporate feeling from the second you walk in the office. The overall compensation and benefits package is not competitive with the market. Leadership is gossipy and plays favorites. I would try to describe the culture, but there isn't one to speak of. HR and leadership are aware of the culture problems, but haven't done anything to address the issues over several months. Plans have been made, but not action was taken. We were told the "employees are supposed to create the culture", but it is hard to do that with no resources or support. As an employee, you don't feel valued or empowered, but instead feel extremely replaceable. People are leaving this office in droves and positions are not being backfilled, resulting in team members without managers, uneven workloads and total confusion on plans for teams.

      I'm sorry to read your post. I can start by telling you that leadership and HR care deeply about our employees and are always working towards improvement. I am confident that the local teams in your office are doing important work to progress against some of the issues you mention, however we are always open to suggestions, so please feel free to reach out to me to share some of the ideas you have around how we can improve the experience for our employees.

      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.
