Thanks for your review. I'm pleased you think Edelman is a nice place to work with friendly people. Our goal when filling open positions is to find the absolute best person for the job. Sometimes that's an external hire, but many times it's an internal hire. It sounds like we need to do a better job talking about those internal wins, so thank you for bringing this to our attention. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director; Human Resources

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.
