Pros

The agency values innovation and is constantly introducing new tools for clients and employees to help ensure service delivered meets evolving communications needs. Senior professionals at Edelman are among the best in the industry.

Cons

Edelman seems overly structured in the way it advances employees with a calendar approach to promotions and raises. A more fluid system of recognition might alleviate recurrant morale issues at review periods.

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.
