Pros

There are none. The management sucks and constantly changes directions, the teams are chaotic - you’re a slave - and the clients suck. They pretend they like you and value your work, but in reality, they hate you and talk behind your back to the Edelman management about how disappointing you are. Your life will be ruled by backstabbing mid-managers.

Cons

So many. Too many to list The clients suck. The work is repetitive. You’re just gonna do coverage reports all day you’re gonna be held to impossible deadlines the teams are chaotic. They use an ancient billing system. You can’t get expense reports done the leadership changes directions strategically twice a year. It’s impossible to keep up with your goals and they use stupid software that is chunky and stupid and it’s all just stupid. The entire agency sucks.

Pros

As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
