Pros

Edelman is a place to build a thriving career. The culture is entrepreneurial, spirited, hardworking and (almost always) fun. The company rewards intelligence, creativity, innovation and high ethics. I've been on board six years and continue to learn new things and be given new opportunities every day. It's the right agency for a self-starter who wants to be at the leading edge of communications, marketing and media.

Cons

It's entrepreneurial and fast-moving, and involvement in agency initiatives, beyond the client work, is really encouraged. While there are plenty of flex programs for telecommuters, parents, part-time work, etc, and a healthy respect for balance, it's just not a place for a 9 to 5'er.

Pros

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Cons

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

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.
