Pros

I really enjoy the people and brands I work on at Edelman. The brands are big names and they often cater clients to your interests based on what you want to work on. It opens a lot of doors and looks great on a resume. I have gained a lot of skills here and have learned so much from creative and intelligent people.

Cons

I think the culture needs improvement. Pay also needs improved and you often have to suck up to get promotions/ahead.

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.
