Pros

Great people. Huge variety of brands to work with (and they're really top-notch accounts; some of the biggest/best brands in the world). I've worked in multiple Edelman offices and have had really positive experiences at all of them. After leaving a very toxic ad agency in New York, it was such a welcome change coming here. They really care about their people and I can honestly say the work just continues to grow stronger every year. Edelman is at point where they're able to compete with some of the best ad agencies out there.

Cons

Salaries could be better. However, I will say that it's clear the senior leadership team is working to improve this. (I can speak from experience; I built a case for my market value this year and was compensated with a large increase.)

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.
