Good career foundations but internal culture deteriorating
Pros
Great foundations for establishing a career in PR and exposure to commercial decision making and management , good client opportunities and exposure to interesting work. International collaboration and growth opportunities.
Cons
Internal culture has completely eroded. The Edelman identity and pride has deteriorated as people have become overworked and under recognised. Seniors keep getting promoted while juniors get disregarded. Client servicing going out the window in the name of reducing commercial margins. Major Client losses reflect this trend. Working parents will suddenly find themselves less regarded for opportunities and promotions - flexibility on paper not in reality. Pay is insulting, other agencies paying 15-20K more in senior roles.
