Pros

Edelman Amsterdam is a friendly, international group of people, which makes for a a good social culture, especially if you're starting out your career.

Cons

Despite the spin, Edelman is still a traditional PR company that refers to 'digital' as if its some mythical creature living in the mountains. This has slowed growth for the business, particularly in Europe, and leads to repetitive, tedious client briefs. The local office and wider business also serves some dubious clients which does not sit well with the supposedly progressive values of Edelman.

Great clients. Great people to work with.

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.
