      Pros

      - You get to work with top clients and brands which will look incredible on your resume - Edelman is the top independent agency in the world so this will stand out in your resume - You get to work on many different projects and truly get to do a little bit of everything. From pitching to handling budgets and strategic planning - I met some of my best friends at Edelman - Company does plan activities and parties to keep up morale

      Cons

      - Only CPG brands, nothing high end or luxury - Some people in management truly don't know how to be team leaders which highly affects morale and this is a big part of why there is such a high turnover rate - The pay is on the low end for industry standard, and not only that but you are working at an incredible capacity that should be complicated accordingly

      Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you had a lot of different and valuable work experiences and made good friends here; Our people have always been one of the best things about Edelman! I agree with you that generally retaining staff is more advantageous than turnover and we're always considering this in our employee engagement planning and total rewards offerings. Take care. Maria O'Keeffe, US Chief Talent Officer

      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.
