Pros

Edelman is a great resume builder.

Cons

Lack of teamwork, lots of drama and backstabbing. Incredibly competitive environment that draws "climbers" that are often all talk, no action.

It's disappointing to read your comments about our environment. While I'm sure all companies have some level of drama, I take pride in the positive culture we've built. It sounds like this has not been your experience, so I'd welcome the opportunity to learn more directly if you're willing to reach out to me at maria.o'keeffe@edelman.com. Thanks, Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Cons

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.
