Pros

Large company with good benefits. Re-reimbursement is swift. Although not in my personal career the ability move around to any of it's many offices around the world; change roles is both possible and encourage.

Cons

While Edelman brand is large each office in many respects acts as it's own independent company. Synergy across offices is weak and not well managed. Being on the production side of Edelman leaves much to be desired. Lack of strategic planning and well thought-out deliverables can leave you somewhat apathetic towards the purpose of the work you've been tasked to do. Technical expertise seems undervalued.

Great clients, Bad morale

Pros

The clients are a great asset and look good when selling yourself to other jobs. And since theirs are pretty big, it means bigger budgets, and often times more fun projects.

Cons

The company seems to succumb every last waking need of the client instead of the internal workforce. The contract & business is what keeps the work going not the teams or the morale.
