Pros

Edelman DC is a great place to work because of the people who work there. The team comprises smart, hard working, ambitious (but not cut-throat competitive) people who are also fun, funny and kind. Taken collectively, they create a culture that rewards both professional excellence and personal investment. As with any job, the workload varies from challenging to dull and at times there is more work-life balance than others. But, when you are working with people who you truly believe are good people, who want the best for the client and for their team members, you want to put forth extra effort. I think our clients see this in our work too, which is why we have excelled in this market, particularly in recent years.

Cons

While generally, I feel the office is well-managed, there is not always transparency, particularly on compensation issues.

Pros

--The company continues to innovate and grow --Edelman focuses on the staff and on making sure this is a company where people can have long and meaningful careers --You get a chance to work on some of the biggest clients and best projects

Cons

As the company grows we continue to add capabilities in different divisions, which means multiple groups within Edelman can handle the same project (Ruth, MATTER, Consumer Marketing, etc). As a result you often find yourself competing against other Edelman teams or offices for chunks of a client's business.
