Pros

Competitive salary, excellent reputation in the industry, great location, casual dress environment, generous paid time off, high profile clients, opportunities for advancement

Cons

Certain work groups are VERY catty, almost sorority-esque. Human Resources function is very unprofessional, not many in mid level leadership roles are trained in leadership

Pros

Smart people at all levels, some interesting clients, can be intellectually rewarding at times

Cons

It an be a very political atmosphere -- your career advancement depends more on the manager you end up with and your willingness to play "smoke and mirrors," rather than your actual abilities and performance. The work can be very tedious if you find yourself stuck on certain accounts, and it is very difficult to move internally to something you might like better.

Pros

The Edelman team is open and willing to help learn about what I should do as well as any other questions I may have. I love the work environment because everyone seems to enjoy what they do. We work really hard, and play hard.

Cons

Even as an intern I noticed a lack of organization in the upper management. For example, there was no one site to find all active clients and contracts so it took a long time to track things down.
