Gurgaon, Haryana

Former Employee – worked at Edelman full-time for more than a year

ProsThe top 5 reasons to join Edelman are:

- Global exposure & best practices
- Excellent Career Opportunities
- Always attracts the world's best clients to work with
- An Industry Paymaster
- Employee Friendly HR Policies

Public Relations is a local business, FOR MOST AGENCIES. Edelman de-mystifies such perceptions about the business and provides an opportunity to excel and DO MORE THAN JUST MEDIA RELATIONS.

Edelman has been a world leader from quite sometime and for some very good reasons. Thanks to their outstanding HR approach, they end up attracting not just the best talent in a marketplace but also the best employees which gives you another reason to work for the firm.

ConsIt is only a PR agency

Advice to Senior ManagementEdelman has some fantastic values, keep up the great heritage going!

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Proslots of opportunity to work on different products. I was able to move around and explore different sectors.
