Pros

Fast-moving. High-profile clients. Work that has impact. Entrepreneurial environment. Work-hard, play-hard. Profile of West Coast team improving. Growing team. Relationship with Edelman is positive

Cons

Workload can be heavy at times. Occasional long hours. Some unstructured working (just make it happen!). Introverted personalities sometimes get overlooked.

Pros

The people in the group are really bright, hard-working, curious and great people to be around. Additionally, the same holds for Edelman colleagues. The clients are top notch and the projects are really interesting.

Cons

Most project timelines tend to be super aggressive and it puts a lot of burden on people to get most everything they work on done yesterday.

Pros

Big name clients, professional development lunch & learns, and Edelman University.

Cons

Terrible elitest attitudes in senior staff, low managerial support, junior staff in competition with interns. Junior staff will throw you under the bus to save themselves. Tedious work.
