      Pros

      Edelman is a fantastic place to begin a career, especially if one's boss is an active advocate for their professional development. You will meet people and have a host of experiences that can propel one's career -- clients come to Edelman with interesting and unique problems, and there are genuinely smart people to call colleagues to tackle these problems. Day-to-day, it's generally a pleasure to work at Edelman in Washington, D.C..

      Cons

      The insurance is downright horrible and our deductible has gone up rather significantly (good luck finding a doctor for something as simple as a physical accepting new patients that accepts it), so are the 401K benefits, which vests after 3 years at a maximum of 60 percent matching (up to 4 percent of salary), which is not competitive. Pay increases has not kept pace with the increase of costs of medical/other costs.

      Thank you for your feedback and I'm happy to hear you've had a great start to your career! Feedback is important to us and I appreciate that you've brought up our insurance programs. I'm pleased to share that we recently finished a U.S wide benefit survey and focus groups. Information we gathered, along with benchmarking data, helps us shape our benefit offerings and strategies. For what it's worth, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. There are some inaccuracies in your comment, so I would encourage to reach out to your HR team for clarification. If you are open to discussing, your HR team would be happy to go over all of our benefit offerings in more detail. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

      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.
