Pros

junior people are very enthused and initially passionate, clients are varied, multinational name brands, client opportunities are varied and interesting

Cons

boys club, glass ceiling, management's fear of change, internal competition between groups is seen as entrepreneurial but its simply competition; clients and employees suffer for it. very senior leaders are allowed to yell and threaten employees

Pros

--The company continues to innovate and grow --Edelman focuses on the staff and on making sure this is a company where people can have long and meaningful careers --You get a chance to work on some of the biggest clients and best projects

Cons

As the company grows we continue to add capabilities in different divisions, which means multiple groups within Edelman can handle the same project (Ruth, MATTER, Consumer Marketing, etc). As a result you often find yourself competing against other Edelman teams or offices for chunks of a client's business.
