Overworked and underpaid. They can't afford to pay you more until you tell them you're leaving. - Senior Account Executive Edelman Employee Review

Pros

Smart people. World class clients. Well respected within the PR/Digital industry. Some real thought-leaders work for Edelman Digital. Great resume builder.

Cons

At times I had up to five clients to account for at once. They do not care about your work life balance, and they'll pile more and more work onto your plate if you let them. For junior level staff, they are willing to give you high levels of responsibility, but not willing to pay you accordingly. Know what you're worth - you can do better.

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.
