Avantages
Edelman is a good place to have on your resume. It's highly recognizable and offers a wide range of clientele.
Inconvénients
Turnover rate is incredibly high. In the year I was with Edelman, I had three different managers. I was worked to the bone, staying as late as midnight some nights with little to no recognition. This company definitely values quantity over quality and has a "burn and turn" mentality when it comes to its' employees. Designers are often treated like production artists who are asked to take art direction from unqualified account members. I've witnessed people throwing chairs, screaming, and cursing at each other during meetings. I felt like I saw people crying on a daily basis because of the way other team members were treating them—lots of bullying from those with advanced titles. This was one of those jobs that made me not want to get out of bed in the morning. An overall unhealthy environment.
