Pros

Teamwork is highly valued at Edelman, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in projects that seem interesting. There's also a great culture, where the office provides opportunities to get to know co-workers, and employees enjoy spending time together.

Cons

Salaries are lower than other professions, at least at the junior level, and hours can be long.

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.
