Pros

Edelman offers a lot of great opportunities for networking and career growth IF you put yourself out there. Edelman is also flexibile about working hours which is nice.

Cons

The one Edelman mentality (working across offices/teams) , leaves teams scattered across geographies, so when they want us to go into the office, there is actually no team there to see or work with - junior staff is underpaid and overworked

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.
