Pros

Great culture, solid leadership, and good position as a market leader in the Digital Marketing space. Edelman is a more stable, mature agency than many of the other Digital agencies. Company has great brand recognition among enterprise clients, so it's not hard to get in the door with new target clients. The company is also global, and encourages employees to move between markets (or even specialties) as their personal life goals shift.

Cons

Conflict arises as the non-Digital side of the business becomes increasingly threatened by the Digital. Edelman is, at its core, a PR company, and while clients demand Digital as part of any enterprise-level solution, the PR side tends to want to pump non-Digital into the budget to stay alive.

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.
