I interviewed at Edelman (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2012
Interview
I wasn't even contacted for a phone interview even though I had inside contacts, although, I didn't know it wasn't a phone interview at the time. Apparently, I went through a more elementary step: a phone screening. The person with whom I spoke sounded like they did not want to talk to me and was very rude - I was pretty sure this person was having a bad day and took it out on me. Oh well, I wouldn't want to work for people with such a bad attitude anyway...
2 rounds; overall straightforward with relatively standard questions for an internship. However the internship is competitive lots of people apply to this internship but it’s a great experience I enjoyed it
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edelman (Hong Kong) in Jun 2025
Interview
Online written task on press release and social media post drafting. Can finish it in one hour. After that will be in person interview with managers. Interview questions are easy and casual.
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (New York, NY)
Interview
Only did the first round which was a phone screening. Recruiter didn't seem that engaged and sounded like they were in a rush to get off the phone. Communication via email is quick though, and they're transparent about the process and updates so that's a plus.
