Thanks for your review. Aren't we all working on some version of reinvention in these quickly changing times!? I think this process is natural and iterative. One of the reasons I've stayed at Edelman for so long is that I've seen us effectively evolve while keeping hold of core values: quality, curiosity, courage and citizenship. I hope you'll find the same while you're learning with your good colleagues and interesting clients! Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director US HR

Pros

Lots of resources to make projects flashy and exciting

Cons

Anyone BELOW the VP level is extremely territorial and egotistical. Huge disconnect between management and everyone else. Very hard to make friends or even learn about other projects or teams. Very difficult to get involved in the office. Management likes to attempt to implement benefits or perks for the employees, but often times we were told to ignore such things. They weren't paying me what I was worth; left this for another agency and immediately got a 20% pay increase. For it being a "top-tier" agency I was not impressed at all.
