Pros

Edelman provides a lot of opportunities to gain experience in the early part of your career. They make it easy for you to explore different areas of the business.

Cons

The pay is terrible. There's little to no diversity in the San Francisco office and there's limited upward mobility.

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.
