Pros

Edelman is a family. Edelman is a place to grow your career and to learn from the best. Get ready to work hard.

Cons

Edelman is not a 9 to 5 job. I work in my car on the way to work and on my way home. That said, I love it all.

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.
