Pros

Edelman is undoubtedly a thought leader. The vision, values and quality of senior management are among the best in the industry. The fact that one is working with people of such high calibre, encourages people to outperform.

Cons

Extremely high work pressure means that work life balance is adversely impacted. Increasing number of layers in a matrix structure slows down decision making.

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.
