What’s the word on the street about work life balance at Edelman? Are the hours insane?

I've been here almost a year and I think my experience is different from others but I have no issues getting on at 9 and signing off at 5-ish each night. I'm also someone who knows I'm not saving any lives with my job so I'm happy to leave things until tomorrow unless it's urgent/others are waiting on me. That said, if you're someone who gets pressured into taking on more or saying yes to things you don't have time for it might be a struggle.

Totally dependent on your client/team and your own ability to set boundaries. Edelman is a great place for people who are independent and entrepreneurial. You basically can define your own reputation. There are people who send minute by minute updates of when they are away from their desk, and people who put on a background and you have no idea they’re working from Mexico or something. I personally flex my hours outside of meetings to have time to work out and run errands, and just aim for at least 40 hours a week.

Not a great place if you want balance.

It’s insane especially if you are in Asia hub offices. For AE/ E expect to work till 10-11pm on a regular basis.

But also it’s not everyday - it’s generally fine for me i can get off 6/7pm most times. Some times when you are in peak season or get more urgent projects in hand is when you need to learn how to prioritize! Good luck, I am enjoying my time at Edelman so far and I hope you will too :)

If we don't have any club, then we should create one. I can volunteer in preparing one.
Its good to see that Deloitte focuses a lot on Well-being. So, we can write to higher authorities to have a club!!

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year.

Any advice would be appreciated!
