Pros

Really smart, strategic people work here, and there are some interesting disruptive and innovative clients.

Cons

Sweatshop. Everyone works 75-85 hours per week leaving at 7:30 pm everyday while usually "jumping online" later in the night and also taking lunch at their desk everyday. Employees are over worked and miserable, often answering emails and working from home on the weekends, in addition to the crazy week. Grossly understaffed. Besides they don't compensate you for the long hours. Terrible management in the Singapore office. They tell you to 'manage perceptions'. If you are looking for a good work life balance DON'T JOIN EDELMAN.

Pros

As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
