Pros

There are none. The management sucks and constantly changes directions, the teams are chaotic - you’re a slave - and the clients suck. They pretend they like you and value your work, but in reality, they hate you and talk behind your back to the Edelman management about how disappointing you are. Your life will be ruled by backstabbing mid-managers.

Cons

So many. Too many to list The clients suck. The work is repetitive. You’re just gonna do coverage reports all day you’re gonna be held to impossible deadlines the teams are chaotic. They use an ancient billing system. You can’t get expense reports done the leadership changes directions strategically twice a year. It’s impossible to keep up with your goals and they use stupid software that is chunky and stupid and it’s all just stupid. The entire agency sucks.

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
