Pros

Brand equity, having the name "Edelman" on your resume will provide you with endless career opportunities.

Cons

Average pay for the "world's largest public relations company". I have never before felt as uncomfortable as I feel at Edelman. It doesn't feel like I'm at a world renowned agency when I come into work, it feels like I'm back in high school where immature & unnecessary harassment & bullying take place. It's so "normal" for people to demean & belittle their coworkers, no professionalism at all.

Your observations are concerning and I'd like to better understand your feedback, so it can be addressed quickly. We don't want any employee to feel this way about their office. I encourage you to reach out to your local HR person me directly. I want to help. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

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.
