Pros

Edelman has the reputation of being the largest and one of the most prestigious communications and media firms, and with that comes top clientele and widespread industry recognition

Cons

Because of its outstanding historical reputation, it feels as thought upper-management doesn't prioritize rewarding employees for remaining "at the top" of the comms industry. There are few, if any perks for employees as far as gym memberships, meal comps, office culture and that will inevitably take a toll on recruiting young talent

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.
