Pros

We have an intimate staff in the Barcelona office which encourages support and trust. One of the greatest resources within the company are the learning tools available to us by Edelman University.

Cons

The Spanish office does not pay well or offer benefits like some of the other offices.

Pros

Management is very supportive of work-life balance. Client/project load is very reasonable.

Cons

Recruitment could be more selective - often times they look to fill the slot as fast as possible. The account teams then pay a high price for team members who aren't a good fit. Additionally the expectations and corresponding responsibilities given to more junior level employees are far below those at competitive firms. Coming from another agency (making a lateral move) I felt like I'd gone back two years in time when I started at Edelman.
