I don't work on the PR side. And because of that, this place is not the place to work. - Anonymous employee Edelman Employee Review

Pros

Camaraderie amongst the team I work with. Some levels of understanding. I have flexibility in time off.

Cons

There are just too many things to list. I'm just very frustrated here. But there is a lack of respect for what we do in our division. There's a high enough turnover rate. We have a severe lack of process which I hope changes. And there are just so many other issues.

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.
