IT Department is very shaky, no clear career path. Not enough resources to support worldwide IT Operations. Pay in IT is very less compared to other companies.

Pros

Client calibur is high, culture is friendly at the surface

Cons

While this company brags about being #1, the Silicon Valley office has been losing clients, losing money, and losing staff like crazy lately. A high-level exec recently came to the office and ripped a new one to the entire staff (mostly comprised of new hires, by that point, with all the recent turnover) implying that the whole country is watching the office, waiting to see if we fail or succeed. Promotions/raises have been extremely minimal this past season and promise to be similar this season, at which point Edelman Silicon Valley is bound to exacerbate the Great Exodus of its most valuable talent. That's good news if you're looking for an immediate hire but bad news if you're looking to grow in a career. The other piece is: Edelman states its low salary compared with competition is outweighed by its career growth potential--well, not in the Silicon Valley office, with this trajectory. Look at the cards: if everyone is leaving, it's probably for a reason.

Pros

Fun and inspiring environment Great company culture and values Great place to continue growing as an individual and professional within PR A lot of resources and insights Offers a huge network Roster of clients is impressive Creative thinking is key They welcome all and any ideas during a brainstorm Fun and smart people to call colleagues Job security

Cons

Entry level positions are paid extremely low no work/life balance Politics plays a big part in certain offices Merit does not go a log way Talking to HR about issues with supervisors does absolutely nothing They do not care to promote or raise pay significantly until you have a new offer on the table
