Pros

Great work environment with incredibly intelligent people. Oppurtunities to work on interesting and Fortune 500 companies. Free gear is given out sometimes

Cons

Almost no opportunity to advance unless you are manager's favorite. Sometimes people fall through the cracks if have a quieter personality.

Thanks for your insightful review. I'm concerned that you are perceiving an unfair balance in advancement opportunities. Different personality types are critical to the make up of any team, and employees should be valued for their unique perspective and voice, so I would love to hear more from you. If you're comfortable, I would encourage you speak with your local HR to share your observations, or you may connect with me directly at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com.
