Pros

I value Edelman's independence as an agency, its diverse practices and its global footprint. The LA office is very diverse and offers a great location for commuting from most locations in SoCal. I believe there is good opportunity for professional growth within the LA office.

Cons

Because of its size, it does take time to navigate within the agency. Edelman offers so many practice groups and services that it requires time to fully understand how to integrate them in your day to day operations.

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.
