      Pros

      Get to work with some great people and have access to very smart specialists.

      Cons

      Have no say in what accounts you work on and when accounts changed you are not consulted. Zero flexibility in working on accounts that reflect your strengths and interest.

      Thank you for your feedback. While our turnover numbers are in line with what's standard in the professional services industry, that certainly doesn't mean we don't have improvements to make. Some turnover is healthy and provides growth and new experience opportunities for others, but we need to be careful about not letting it tick up to a point that causes undue hardship or loss of insights for those who remain. While we have a number of retention initiatives in play or planned, if you have any other suggestions, I'd love to hear from you at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com. 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.
