Pros

Edelman has the best, smartest, most creative and most fun/interesting people in the business. This place is dynamic, evolving, forward-looking and unafraid of taking risks on new ideas. The Exec Comm puts people and clients first and keeps a strong focus on growth, development, leading-edge thinking and quality. I can see why many very talented people are attracted here and end up staying a long time, which is the best job perk of all.

Cons

All this entrepreneurialism can occasionally lead to new-idea overload, and you have to sort through what's really most important and how you can bring it to your clients.

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.
