Pros

The people that I work with are some of the smartest and creative people around. Edelman is great when it comes to working with other practices to provide the best counsel possible.

Cons

Management in Los Angeles doesn't seem to care about the career advancement of their employees. The rate at which people are promoted and / or recognized for their talent is inconsistent.

Pros

Great brand name with some very talented people, some good clients and a nice office. There are some interesting opportunities if you play the political game

Cons

Terrifble dog eat dog environment with nasty inter-office rivalries. There is a reign of terror amongst senior management who you upset or challenge at your peril. No support from the human resources.

As a very large agency, it can take some time to find a niche where you best fit. Overall managers are committed to helping you excel however.
