Pros

The research focus at Edelman is bar none. The Trust barometer and the need to ground everything in research & analysis is uncompromising at Edelman. There are also great clients and good international opportunities compared to publicly listed companies.

Cons

Work life balance is worse than I've experienced at other agencies. Relatively strong sense of presentisim.

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.
