It’s mainly layoffs and low pay. People feel burnt out from carrying the load and then not feeling appreciated for it. They’re making some leadership switch ups that seem promising but overall you’ll get a lot of “run away!” Responses. However, the job market is tough at the moment. If you need a job it’s not going to hurt to get a check while you keep looking. Who knows, you may end up loving it and stay!

Everything I've heard has been rough and I'll guess if you're posting here you'll get equally as bleak reviews from what I've seen from Edelman folks in the past.

Its a GREAT agency to have on your resume. Not sure your current life stage but if you're comfortable hunkering down and doing it for a short period of time for the name cred on your resume it might be worth it. But only if you don't have a name of that caliber already on your resume.

Edelman is a great place to work, with very smart people who try to help each other. It's been a tough few years for every communication firm.

That seems low to me.
