      Pros

      Nice offices Benefits packages are in line with other agencies

      Cons

      There are a lot of emotional outbursts here and, sadly, temper tantrums get results. The worst offenders are known to management, but are never confronted. Weak management overall. Managers do not support or protect employees from unrealistic clients. But worse is how internal teams treat one another: gas-lighting and backstabbing are rampant. The pay is low even compared to agency standards and the hours are unrelenting, especially if you work with international teams. Bottom line: you will never work so hard for less pay alongside coworkers you cannot trust.

      Your concerns are serious and I don't take them lightly. You mention that everyone knows who the offenders you mention are, but I'm not certain that I do and I want to look into this. I hope you're willing to discuss your experiences with me directly, so I have the opportunity to evaluate and address these concerns. I can be reached at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com.

      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.
