I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Edelman (London, England) in May 2021
Interview
Initial phone screening with a lovely recruiter. I was then asked to interview the following week with two Account Directors, and then the week after that with VPs. After the first interview, I was asked to complete a 30 min writing task. The interview with the VPs was significantly more detailed and gave me an opportunity to ask more granular questions about the structure of the team. I would advise people going for interview to emphasise their wins, the KPIs they exceeded, and their unique skills that set them apart from the rest. Be confident and show them that you will be able to be client-facing.
The entire process took just over three weeks, however I was assured that this is not normal and that there were a number of diary clashes and people on annual leave. Overall it was fine.

I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. I had an initial call with an in-house recruiter. She scheduled me for two hours of back-to-back 30 min interviews the following week. I met with 4 people who mostly asked me the same questions, so it was a bit tiresome by the end of the 2 hours. I should mention that the hiring manager came off as condescending and I could tell he was messaging/emailing during our conversation. One of the interviewers told me that one of the head honchos over there uses the motto that being overworked is a "privilege." Honestly that sounds scary. I did not get an offer, and I was ok with that after meeting with these people.
He tenido varias entrevistas, incluyendo una con cliente. También tuve una presentación de una caso y prueba de personalidad. El proceso ha ido fluyendo, con oportunidad de hacer preguntas al empleador
