Pros

I was an intern at Edelman Shanghai office. Overall good experience and exposure. I got a chance to see the rapid industry/business growth in mainland China.

Cons

I heard that it took quite sometime for interns to become full-time. Some unlucky guys had to be an intern for one full year before transferring into full-time. The promotion is also quite slow.

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.
