Pros

Some of the smartest people I've ever met in PR. There's a reason Edelman has clients who have stayed with us for 10+ years. Working for this company, you never stop learning and you never stop growing. It's also very much a team environment. I've met some of my best friends while working here, and the people I work with are what make me want to come to work every day.

Cons

Senior management can be a little out of touch. They will occasionally make excuses for negative feedback, rather than dealing with problems head-on. Changing teams or practices is a difficult and lengthy process.

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.
