Pros

Edelman is a progressive and innovative organisation with a very dynamic structure and workforce. The company also takes employee feedback seriously and uses this to help improve working conditions. This comes from a place of sincerity, as they do genuinely care about their employees, both personally and professionally. A rarity in this era of sycophancy and vacant promises. This means they gave you ample opportunity to develop your skillset and work flexibly, something which I am immensely grateful for.

Cons

The recent redundancies were a kick in the teeth, and have unfortunately undermined trust in Richard Edelman and other senior leaders. Also, the work-life balance does vary, but like many have mentioned it is more than manageable.

Pros

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.
