Pros

The Edelman team is open and willing to help learn about what I should do as well as any other questions I may have. I love the work environment because everyone seems to enjoy what they do. We work really hard, and play hard.

Cons

Even as an intern I noticed a lack of organization in the upper management. For example, there was no one site to find all active clients and contracts so it took a long time to track things down.

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.
