Pros

Great reputation in the industry High profile clients and a lot of variety Opportunity to work in different locations Great place to work for junior and mid-level staff

Cons

Incredibly political and a true "good-ole-boys" network Not a lot of advancement for women at the very top, unless you compromise your morals Money is everything to Edelman and client loyalty is based on client budget, if a client's competitor has a bigger budget, Edelman has no problem switching sides

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.
