Thanks for your post. I find our benefits to be quite competitive but I understand that people value different things and often that's impacted by their life stage when it comes to benefits. Our intent is to provide a holistic suite of meaningful benefits to all employees. If you have specific feedback to share on how we could improve our benefits, please do reach out to your local HR team or to me at Maria.OKeeffe@edelman.com. Maria O'Keeffe, US Chief Talent Officer

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

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.
