Pros

- Edelman, Seattle in particular, has a great culture - You get to work with some of the brightest and most driven people in the industry - There is a lot of room for growth! Edelman not only outlines what you need to do to go to the next level, but also provides continuous education opportunities through offsites, webinars, campaign recaps, etc.

Cons

- Depending on your client, you can work long hours, though my managers typically check in when they know that's the case, looking for how they can lower my workload - The pay isn't as great as in-house

Appreciate the candid feedback and we are glad to hear you like the culture at Edelman! Agree compensation is top of mind for us and we recently made a hire to specifically focus on our compensation strategy in the US. Kudos to you and your manager for having an open dialogue about hours worked - please keep that up and if you ever need another ear, visit your Seattle HR team - Denise and team are great!

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.
