Pros

Large company with good benefits. Re-reimbursement is swift. Although not in my personal career the ability move around to any of it's many offices around the world; change roles is both possible and encourage.

Cons

While Edelman brand is large each office in many respects acts as it's own independent company. Synergy across offices is weak and not well managed. Being on the production side of Edelman leaves much to be desired. Lack of strategic planning and well thought-out deliverables can leave you somewhat apathetic towards the purpose of the work you've been tasked to do. Technical expertise seems undervalued.

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.
