      Pros

      Lots of opportunity - for growth, great client programs and great client brands Strong teams and talent

      Cons

      Not necessarily a con - but it's a fast-paced environment with high expectations from clients and teams.

      Pros

      - The opportunity to work with amazing clients who highly respect Edelman - Great company-wide client work overall. Everyone at the company is high performing and successful. - Great internal resources to address any and every client need possible. Clients love Edelman! - Great culture, friendly people, and great worldwide networking opportunities - Great benefits overall (PTO on your birthday, pet adoption stipend, generous holiday schedule, great health insurance coverage, etc.) - For an agency environment, Edelman is very friendly to career-driven individuals who want to start a family or have a family - Great place for women in leadership positions - The company is starting to compete more with ad agencies, integrated marketing agencies, etc.

      Cons

      - Account team members often get "stuck" on one account because an account may require 100% of an employee's time; as a result, career growth can become stagnant - Junior employees are underpaid (but that is also the case at most agencies) - Because of the size of the company, great talent is overlooked and amazing people get passed up for promotion far too often. The promotion cycle is political and hurts morale. - Lack of office and meeting room space can make it challenging to be productive - Though Edelman is independent, it is still highly profit-driven, and I did sometimes sense that senior management was more concerned about profit than employee happiness

      Pros

      As with any large company, you have access to a lot more resources. You are also able to work on a wide variety of big brand name clients. A solid resume builder.

      Cons

      You work long hours and are not compensated well. Benefits are good, the people are solid, but the salary is low.
