Business Outlook
Pros
Fun place to work overall with great people. There you have a very clear career path and managers are open to giving feedback and committed to helping you grow. Promotions are frequent, but sought after, and they give you something to strive for...rather than at other agencies where you may remain the same position for years at a time. Some people will become Edelman lifers if they fall in with the right contacts. Most others will go away...some to realize that Edelman wasn't so bad after all. Great benefits, smart people, high standards in general.
Cons
Very political. Long hours. Some glamorous accounts...some not so much.
