      Pros

      Edelman is a fantastic place to begin your career! There's really great trainings, on-boarding for new staff and colleagues are always willing to spend extra time to teach you. There are opportunities to continue learning throughout your time at the company, not just in the beginning, which is great! The people are fantastic and there's a really great camaraderie, especially among junior level staff. The company offers great benefits, perks, holiday time off and fair PTO. If you're working at Edelman, you will certainly collaborate with really amazing, smart people!

      Cons

      - Unfair pay, especially for junior level staff who are doing a majority of the tactical, day-to-day work. - Some senior staff say that they're collaborative and willing to roll up their sleeves, but actions speak louder than words. - Depending on the team you are on, your title might not be comparable to that of another individual on a different team; certain teams have higher or lower expectations. - The overtime law for non-exempt employees is a good idea in theory when used correctly, but it strongly depends on what team you work on and you don't really get to decide that.

      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.
