Pros

Richard Edelman is a true, respected thought leader in the field of PR and the company does a great job informing and educating all its staff about the company's vision. Edelman encourages employees to embrace the changes in the practice of PR and gives them opportunities to develop their skills.

Cons

Office politics and gossip, while inevitable, can sometimes make the office a negative environment. Staff departures aren't always handled well. Workloads aren't spread very evenly, leaving some staff overworked while others have lots of free time.

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.
