      A huge dissapointment - Assistant Account Executive Edelman Employee Review

      Pros

      Lots of resources to make projects flashy and exciting

      Cons

      Anyone BELOW the VP level is extremely territorial and egotistical. Huge disconnect between management and everyone else. Very hard to make friends or even learn about other projects or teams. Very difficult to get involved in the office. Management likes to attempt to implement benefits or perks for the employees, but often times we were told to ignore such things. They weren't paying me what I was worth; left this for another agency and immediately got a 20% pay increase. For it being a "top-tier" agency I was not impressed at 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.
