Pros

1. Edelman is an adventurous agency that invests in fresh technologies because its CEO is truly a master at identifying cutting-edge advances in communications and puts funds behind testing them out. 2. The range of opportunities, with clients large and small, makes the job so interesting and enjoyable. 3. Colleagues are, for the most part, smart and collaborative and very interesting. 4. Edelman is making an earnest effort to enlist employees and its own treasury to give back. 5. I simply enjoy coming to work every day -- and that hasn't happened in a long career of work elsewhere.

Cons

1. I'm paid squarely but younger, newer colleagues complain that salaries are below the industry average and promotions often take longer than they expected. 2. The agency has grown so large so fast that it must ensure that employees and their careers don't get shortchanged.

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.
