      Pros

      Good network within Exelman. Very good Fortune 500 clients and skotbifcexoosure given the fact that the senior leadership (CEO) doesn't really understand the fundamentals of research They are trying g to position themselves as a research company with little or no understanding of research.

      Cons

      The worst management n history. I mean the history of the world here. CEO is as dumb as a box of nails but the box of nails has a better "sales IQ".

      Pros

      Big brands, name recognition, solid benefits. Generally speaking, you'll work with people who really know what they are doing.

      Cons

      When I left, I realized just how mediocre of a place Edelman is. Offices battle with each other over clients and revenue. The various office do little to no sharing of information, skills and resources because of this. Edelman is also a highly matrixed organization, with lots of vertical specialists, but these people infrequently are asked to step out of their comfort zones and try something new. As an organization, Edelman's primary focus is revenue and profit, not client and employee satisfaction or the work. Management frequently promises work to clients that cannot be delivered. Compensation is well below industry standards.

      Pros

      Senior management is professional and client focused. The firm invests in its staff. Great clients.

      Cons

      Like all agencies work life balance can be tough but you don't work in an agency environment for a cushy life. You go because you get incredible experience with blue chip clients. Edelman has that.
