Pros

I'm in LA. Great leadership team. Great client list. Good momentum. Transparent about performance and what is happening in the network and the industry. We're proud of our performance.

Cons

Pace is fast and at times can be hard to keep everyone up with expectations. It's hard to quickly access new resources and hiring in our market can be slow. Seems to be hard to find good talent to join in the market.

Thanks for your thoughtful review. The LA office is a wonderful community and it's great to hear what you're experiencing as an employee there. I agree with you that finding excellent talent is a challenge, and not just in L.A.. Rest assured that part of why it takes time is ensuring we have the very best fit possible. And I agree our pace is fast. We're always looking for ways to manage that reality effectively and efficiently. If you every have ideas, feel free to share them with me! I'm 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.
