Pros

One of the reasons I love working for Edelman is their focus on nurturing talent within the company. As an intern I was amazing at the amount of training and knowledge sharing available to employees at all levels. It's a great company to work for straight out of college!

Cons

Getting an interview for an agency of this caliber is incredibly competitive and I wish career counselors had stressed to me the importance of international work experience and language learning while I was in undergrad to prepare me for getting a job in this market.

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Cons

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

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.
