Pros

The senior level staff at Edelman works closely with their teams to ensure people are challenging themselves and reaching career goals, while at the same time pleasing the clients and meeting the goals of the company. Overall, Edelman is a place where you will certainly meet some of the smartest, most driven employees and have access to some of the most outstanding resources and tools in the industry.

Cons

At times, it can be difficult to balance work with a personal life. Going far in this industry often means sacrificing many late nights and weekends. That being said, the payoff is extremely rewarding and acknowledged by senior-level staff.

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.
