Pros

Great client roster for a tranditional PR agency. The people who have been here for years seem to have drank the koolaid and love their ‘Edelfam’

Cons

Cut throat environment, either you fit in or you dont. Little to no effort for people to grow in their roles. VPs and people managers lack leadership experience. Burnout and long hours is common. Way below industry pay.

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.
