Cross-practices don't communicate as often In-team fighting for budget Lack of creative process or breadth of tech resources It's really all about the account you're on and who is your manager

Thanks for your review. It's concerning that you've observed the quality of an Edelman experience to vary across managers and accounts. We strive to ensure consistency and that our employees have fulfilling opportunities and good managers, especially as we are becoming a more integrated agency where there is ample cross-team collaboration. I would encourage you to discuss your concerns about this with your manager or local HR person, so that they can help find solutions. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director; Human Resources

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.
