Pros

Several professional growth opportunities. Friendly colleagues. Experienced colleagues and resources to draw from. Promotes work/life balance.

Cons

While a work/life balance is promoted, it is hard to do. Possible career paths overwhelming to new comers. Day-to-day account positions have little to no contact with upper management - I know they work on accounts and the company, however I'm not sure what they actually do.

Pros

The people are Edelman Digital are the strongest factor in staying at this agency. The work can be fun, but there are also many projects that suck the life out of you. Same as any job, I suppose.

Cons

With such a focus on social media, the projects can get pretty repetitive. "Make us a Facebook page!" "We need a new Facebook tab!" etc.
