Pros

Edelman has a great global network and a lot of talented people to learn from. I was able to work on global accounts that provided a lot of learning opportunities that I would not have had access to otherwise.

Cons

Lack of manpower and resources are always and issue and combined with client deadlines it can become quite mentally and emotionally draining.

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.
