Pros

Edelman employees are smart, hard working and create a great work environment. The people are absolutely the number 1 reason to work at Edelman. The world-wide network offers great opportunities to learn from colleagues around the world.

Cons

Despite talk of work/life balance, long hours are expected. Tough economy puts the squeeze on clients and limits opportunities for new business.

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.
