Pros

Amazing people work at Edelman - smart, driven, engaged. I had some truly incredible colleagues and great clients, too. When I was able to work on integrated programs that really took advantage of the Edelman model, it was SO FUN to see everyone in action and working well together. The company also provided good flexibility for me when I needed it.

Cons

Edelman leadership is not great - things are stressful and our course was not clear. Lots of favoritism, especially at the senior levels, with people who really didn't do much work but talked a lot being elevated and referenced always, as well as some who were really good at the work but behaved badly and got away with it. There was a significant breakdown in training and talent development - very much a sink-or-swim perspective where you better keep learning based on whatever you know, but if you ask for help or additional training, you're left out to dry (or worse, it's held against you).
