      Pros

      There are a lot of opportunities within the company and job security you might not find at a smaller agency. Teams constantly produced high-quality work and are true professionals.

      Cons

      While there are a lot of opportunities, they can be difficult to take advantage of. The company preaches many things -work-life balance, flexibility within the agency and creativity or to "think differently", but that doesn't seem to apply to the average Edelman employee, especially Interns and AAEs. The pay is low for long hours and senior employees treat the junior staff as a resource rather than a human.

      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.
