Great environment to learn as a Junior to Mid level PR executive or manager.
Cons
Challenging environment for anyone being hired for non-core competencies of the group, such as advertising or Digital advertising (purely from a creative independence perspective).

Thanks for your review. As our business evolves, we're striving to create an experience that's equally as fulfilling for those bringing new capabilities to the firm as it is for those who work in our more established areas. I'm disappointed to hear that wasn't your experience and would like to learn more from you about what we can do better. If you'd like to share any specifics around your observations please feel free to contact me directly. Maria.okeeffe@edelman.com
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.
