      Pros

      independent/family ownership, smart people, thought leadership in comms space, solid training/continuing education, top talent & clients in Global Client Relationship Management program

      Cons

      workplace politics (which exist everywhere), big/over investment in creative which has put more pressure on core PR folks and in some cases devalued them, while you will find marquis client connections in work in offices outside Chicago and NY, in US, for going after global opportunities and big clients, those would be offices to target in US

      Thanks for your time in writing a review. I'm happy to hear you experienced so much good in your time at Edelman. I, too, so value our independence, smart colleagues and the impressive thought leadership and client base you can find almost anywhere at Edelman. While I'm confident our resources and investments are leading us in the right direction for the firm, your feedback about creative and marquis clients are noted and I appreciate hearing from you. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

      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.
