Pros

The people in the group are really bright, hard-working, curious and great people to be around. Additionally, the same holds for Edelman colleagues. The clients are top notch and the projects are really interesting.

Cons

Most project timelines tend to be super aggressive and it puts a lot of burden on people to get most everything they work on done yesterday.

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.
