      A lot needs to change if things are going to start looking up - Anonymous employee Edelman Employee Review

      Pros

      Pros are being able to work on major, global brands and getting the exposure and experience that comes with that. It looks good on your resume. There are also some really great/smart people who work for the company, and great mentors if you seek them out.

      Cons

      Underpaid and overworked; not appropriately rewarded for consistent quality work; a lot of talk about the internal changes that are necessary to move the company forward but not a lot of action; completely stuck in the old school way of doing things/not open to new ideas (in some ways not even keeping up with the way the industry is moving); fragmented senior leadership that doesn't allow for truly integrated approaches on accounts.

      Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to announce that we were just given the top spot in the Global Creative Index by The Holmes Report: http://www.holmesreport.com/long-reads/article/edelman-and-unity-top-2016-global-creative-index. If you feel you are not getting the opportunity to do things differently, I would encourage you to have a conversation with your HR team about looking for opportunities to help you stretch outside of your normal remit.

      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.
